Aoifinn Devitt, portfolio manager for City Financial's Asian Absolute Growth Fund, joined CNBC for a look back at Europe's trading day and Asian markets, 7 September 2011.

Capturing Asian growth

In her ft.com guest commentary, Aoifinn Devitt, manager of the City Financial Asian Absolute Growth Fund, describes the important forces that are shaping the Asian market and how investors can capture a share of future growth in the region. The story of growth in Asia is not a new one, but much of the low hanging fruit has already been picked and the messy realities of that growth are now roiling investor sentiment. However, this early energy has opened up a new, more complex chapter, where the plot lines are becoming more fragmented and scattered. Profiting from this next phase will require a more inclusive approach towards the older generation of markets as well as a more sophisticated set of techniques to add value — or “deliver alpha” — beyond the traditional “buy and hold” approach that worked so well in the past.
