Overview

At City of London, we focus not on gathering assets, but on building products that reflect our expertise. Initially, and for many years since the firm was founded, that expertise was very specific to closed-end funds which offered emerging markets exposure. This was subsequently complemented by research into the underlying equities, both via natural resources and via country specific emerging markets stocks, which in turn spawned regional and global emerging market equity funds.

Most recently, we have applied our unrivalled knowledge of closed-end funds around the world to the development of a global (ex US) closed-end fund product. So today, while we remain both proud and protective of our "boutique" status, we offer a range of products which are defined by the twin pillars of our expertise: emerging markets and closed-end funds.
