Fund Holdings

The fund is fairly concentrated and usually holds between 50 and 80 names. Although Ishida has the freedom to invest in just about any country and industry, the fund is anchored by a 30 percent holding in Japan. “[Japan is] very exposed to Asian growth but has much cheaper valuations,” Ishida says. “It’s a cheaper way to play Asia.”
