The value we place on “intelligence” is fundamental to our comprehensive investment evaluation process. The diversity and experience of the members of the GEMS Funds Board and Advisory Council and our Management Team provide us with a wealth of expertise in some of the region’s most promising sectors. We target sectors where we have industry knowledge and “first hand” experience; presently, sectors of focus include: telecommunications, financial services, natural resources and distribution/retailing. To be attractive, investment opportunities need to have strong growth potential, clear business focus and above all oversight of high quality management in order to progress through our rigorous evaluation process.
