Dynamic Funds(R) launches Dynamic Emerging Markets Class
Top Growth and Value managers collaborate on new mandate
TORONTO, July 29 /CNW/ - Dynamic Funds(R) ("Dynamic"), managed by Goodman & Company, Investment Counsel Ltd., today announces the launch of Dynamic Emerging Markets Class (the "Fund"), an innovative mandate blending growth and value oriented investing in one emerging markets mutual fund.
The Fund's award-winning portfolio managers, Rohit Sehgal and Chuk Wong, will apply a combined top-down and rigorous bottom-up approach to design a portfolio that seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies located or doing business in emerging markets.
"The degree of economic growth in the emerging markets has provided an abundance of growth stocks to choose from and transformed the equity markets there into a stock picker's paradise," said Rohit Sehgal, Chief Investment Strategist at Dynamic Funds.
Mr. Sehgal is head of the Power team of portfolio managers at Dynamic, drawing on more than 40 years of experience investing in companies globally. The pure growth investment approach applied by Mr. Sehgal allows him to identify companies that demonstrate, in his opinion, the strongest potential for earnings growth.
"The rapid economic growth in emerging Asia, favourable demographics in the Indian subcontinent, and abundant natural resources in Latin America and Africa collectively offer investors a rare opportunity to participate in the extraordinary potential of these exciting global markets," added Chuk Wong, Vice President and Portfolio Manager at Dynamic Funds.
Mr. Wong has more than two decades of industry experience and is lead manager for a number of Dynamic's global and regional value funds. A strict contrarian investor, Mr. Wong seeks companies that, in his opinion, are generally undervalued because they are out-of-favour, not well covered or misunderstood.
Both of the Fund's portfolio managers have received industry accolades and won numerous awards for superior performance. Most recently, Dynamic Power Balanced Fund, co-managed by Mr. Sehgal, and Dynamic Far East Value Fund and Dynamic Global Value Fund, managed by Mr. Wong, were recognized with awards in their respective fund categories at the 2010 Canadian Lipper Fund Awards.
