City of London Investment Management Company Limited is a leading emerging markets and natural resource asset management group, specializing in the provision of products and services, predominantly to institutional clients. With offices in London, the US, Singapore and Dubai the firm can take advantage of world markets over a 24-hour trading period.
Unlike other investment vehicles in the natural resource space, which are usually focused on a limited number of sectors within the natural resources universe, CoL’s natural resource product’s theme-oriented approach leads to a more comprehensive diversification over numerous sectors, including precious metals, base metals, diversified mining, energy, and soft commodities. Themes arise from world geopolitical events and demographics, and they develop with varying degrees of intensity in different geographical areas at different times. This approach allows the fund to capitalize on the expansive growth of specific sectors in specific regions while limiting the volatility by diversifying away company/sector specific risks. The vast majority of the world's resources are located in countries considered emerging markets. Given CoL's expertise we are uniquely positioned to add value by selecting companies with an emerging market presence. These companies are generally less followed but well positioned and fundamentally sound. That inefficiency creates a distinct potential source of alpha. This theme-oriented approach also allows CoL to completely divest from a sector once the Manager believes a theme is exhausted or a new theme has emerged.
