Investment Strategy
Modular transforms the complexity of Asian markets into stable and repeatable returns. This transformation is made possible by our distinctive investment discipline and specialisation in the region’s complex local markets.
Through decades of trading experience, we have proven a set of investment tools that allow us to benefit from that complexity and shift the balance of risk and return in our clients’ favour. We are constantly evolving these tools as we identify changes and opportunities in these dynamic markets.
Discipline
Discipline in our investment process is critically important to Modular. We only invest in markets and asset classes where we have deep specialisation. This discipline enables us to be nimble in capturing opportunity and in managing risk. It is a cornerstone of our culture and a key driver of our investment performance.
Risk management
Our ability to capture the opportunities that come from understanding this difference is a core advantage for Modular’s investors. We believe our process of harvesting this complexity premium to be repeatable through market cycles.
Analysis
Because of our rare ability to process and capitalise on complexity via this strategy, Modular is able to differentiate between short-term market movements that are driven by shifts in liquidity specific to each market and longer-term, more fundamental moves.
Specialism
A distinctive modular strategy involving country-level and product-level portfolios is at the heart of our approach to deploying capital, which has been developed over more than 18 years by our CIO, Jimmy Lim.
