Polen’s Global Emerging Markets Growth strategy seeks to achieve long-term growth by building a concentrated portfolio of competitively advantaged emerging markets businesses. Polen Capital (Polen) believe that consistent earnings growth is the primary driver of intrinsic value and long-term stock appreciation. Polen invests in companies they identify as having a durable earnings profile driven by a sustainable competitive advantage, financial strength, proven management teams and powerful products/services. By thinking and investing like a business owner and taking a long-term investment approach, Polen believe that clients will best benefit from steady compounding returns generated by the companies held in the portfolio.
Montgomery is investigating the most effective method of offering the Polen Capital Global Emerging Markets Growth Strategy to Australian investors, and we hope to have more news on this later in 2023.
