3. Our investment process Investment philosophy  Our equity investment teams share the philosophy of Growth at a Reasonable Price (GARP). We believe that long term earnings growth is the principal driver of stock market performance and that the best way of finding unrecognised growth is to identify companies with visibility of earnings over three to five years. Investment process Sourcing ideas  High conviction investment ideas come from many sources, including meeting companies, team discussion, cross fertilisation of ideas from the Baring global research platform and quantitative screening. Company research  Our investment teams conduct fundamental research using our disciplined company research framework, which analyses three factors: quality, growth and upside.  We take a structured and in depth approach to evaluate the upside potential of companies and score them accordingly. In determining valuations, we use consistent and transparent methods based on a variety of valuation models and tools.  The output of our company research process is a Company Scorecard. We score quality, growth and upside on a scale of 1- 5, with 1 being the most favourable and 5 the least attractive. The overall score for the company indicates our assessment of the potential for long-term outperformance of the market. Portfolio construction  Our approach to portfolio construction aims to ensure that we combine our best investment ideas in a robust and risk aware way. We construct high conviction portfolios that are weighted according to a number of factors including level of conviction, upside potential, liquidity, and market and risk considerations.  Risk management is an integral part of portfolio construction and helps us to understand the risks associated with each company in the portfolio and how the risk budget is apportioned throughout the portfolio. Source: Barings. Monitoring portfolios  Investment strategy is monitored by the EMEA Equity Team on both a weekly and monthly basis to ensure that it reflects the latest investment thinking of the team.  Ongoing monitoring of the portfolio is undertaken by the investment team and aided by the Quantitative Research Team. This includes Implied Alpha analysis; using a reverse optimisation process to evaluate the underlying risk within equity allocations, as well as Style analysis.  The investment team and the Head of Equities use a Portfolio Scorecard to measure the level of conviction within the portfolio as well as its alignment with our quality, growth and upside disciplines. This scorecard forms the basis for the investment team to review and where necessary to adjust the portfolio.  Independent risk oversight is provided by the Investment Risk Team, including monitoring positions against investment guidelines, conducting liquidity analysis and stress testing the portfolio. A word on risk…  The Baring Eastern Europe Fund is invested primarily in equities listed in Eastern Europe. As such, the Fund is exposed to the volatility that can characterise equity share prices from time to time. These countries are emerging equity markets, and as a result, the Fund can be exposed to economic, political and other risks associated with holding equities in developing markets.  Returns from overseas equity markets can also be subject to fluctuations in exchange rates, which can have the effect of eroding or enhancing the value of the investment returns for investors.  The investment techniques we may use as part of managing our positions and market exposure, such as the use of derivative instruments to cover or reduce our exposure to certain investments, should generally reduce volatility in the Fund, but could increase it, when used to take on additional market or securities exposure. From time-to-time this may be a further source of volatility for investors and, as a result, the net asset value of the Fund may suffer from sharp changes due to the nature of the underlying investments.  Past performance is not a guide to future performance and there is no guarantee that the investment objective will be achieved and you may get back less than you initially invested.  Please refer to the Prospectus for the full risk profile. Investors should read the Prospectus and the Key Investor Information Document (KIID) for the relevant unit/share class carefully and consider the potential risk factors as well as reward factors before investing.
