Gabriel started his career with Aberdeen back in 2008 as a research analyst and portfolio manager on a range of Emerging Markets equity funds, including a Frontier Markets strategy. Today, his primary responsibility is as lead manager on the Aberdeen Asia Focus investment trust, which aims to give investors exposure to a portfolio of high-quality smaller companies across Asia that are otherwise very difficult to access.
We talk about the differences between many of the countries that Gabriel works with and the four primary variations that anyone working across Asian markets needs to know. Gabriel talks about how the markets are looking in today’s turbulent geopolitical climate, and why he’s optimistic about growth. We hear his advice on how to communicate with company boards and investors, why face-to-face meetings are still the best meeting option, and how he’s using AI as a productivity tool.
