Building with the BRIC Stars Fund
Investing in the Allianz RCM BRIC Stars Fund means you can participate in the growth potential of the BRIC economies with the knowledge that it is managed by one of the world's largest asset managers. Through its dedicated global equity platform RCM, Allianz Global Investors has the global expertise and vast resources to manage a fund of this nature.
Global research
The BRIC Stars Fund is managed by Michael Konstantinov, who utilises RCM's global research platform to identify investment opportunities in these core emerging markets. Our team of 75 researchers and analysts, located around the globe, provides our fund managers with first hand information and advice on local companies and markets. We believe that our ability to leverage this global platform sets us apart from other managers.
Grassroots
An exclusive investigative resource which complements our other, more traditional, research methods. Grassroots involves using on the spot market research to gauge consumer sentiment. This is an extremely useful tool for the BRIC managers who regularly commission Grassroots studies to get an in-depth understanding of the latest trends and perceptions in the BRIC economies. Whether our fund managers want to find out what is the favoured brand of mobile phone in Moscow or if Masterkong is going to come under pressure from other instant noodle makers in China, our Grassroots researchers are on the ground in major and minor BRIC cities to assess marketing promotions and consumer sentiment.
Growth style
The BRIC Stars Fund is managed using a combination of a top-down, systematic country allocation model and high-quality, bottom-up stock section to drive the potential for long-term capital growth. A bottom-up approach to selecting BRIC stocks is central to our philosophy of catching and exploiting growth ideas early before they become common knowledge.
