Capitalising on Asia’s long-term potential
Specialist Asia fund manager Treasury Asia Asset Management (TAAM) has partnered with distribution specialist The Private Collection to promote the TAAM New Asia Fund to advisers.
The Private Collection will be responsible for helping TAAM educate advisers and dealer groups about the “excellent long-term investment opportunities that exist in the Asian equities market”, according to TAAM general manager Sheldon Rivers.

“The food and energy related inflation scare that has hit Asian markets in recent months has temporarily disrupted the bullish long-term Asian story. In particular, there are positive long-term fundamentals, growth in the number of discretionary middle class consumers and low debt levels across Asia,” he said.
