The world is now one global market place – so to find the best investment ideas it makes sense to look globally.

We believe Global Portfolio Trust gives you a well-diversified portfolio with exposure to a range of exciting international markets that may be difficult to replicate any other way. That’s why many financial planners use global investments as a ‘core’ holding within an investment portfolio.

We’ve created a portfolio consisting of businesses we believe are leaders and innovators at the forefront of some multi-decade investment themes such as the rise of electric vehicles, growth of the emerging market middle class and the onset of artificial intelligence.
To find these top-quality investment opportunities, we draw on the experience and expertise of Martin Currie’s equity analysts.
We look for companies which are in control of their own destinies – those which have strong market positions, are financially sound and generate high levels of profitability.
Central to this approach is extensive company engagement and a focus on responsible investing – ESG – because we believe sustainable, well-managed companies make more successful long-term investments.
