Emergent Asset Management

Emergent Asset Management is an award winning alternative investment management firm with offices in the UK. It is regulated by the FSA. Established in 1997, Emergent has a long and successful investment track record. Its reputation is founded on innovative investment products in hedge funds and private equity which combine generating high absolute returns with strong risk management. Our approach combines detailed fundamental research in global macro-economics with deep expertise and a broad network of local contacts in developed and emerging markets. Senior management has extensive experience in their fields at blue chip investment banks and hedge funds prior to joining the firm. Our aim is always to act "pro alia," before others and ahead of the herd, to exploit investment opportunities. We use a powerful, proprietary geo-political model which has been developed over many years. It is set at the heart of the firm's macro-orientated investment philosophy and process and is used to generate themes for investment which are evident in the global market place. It has taken the management team beyond hedge fund investment into private equity and special situations. The emergence of the "Geopolitical Model" as a tangible indicator of market opportunities and threats has gained considerable interest industry-wide. A book written by Emergent's CEO, David Murrin, on the subject of this model, titled "Breaking the Code of History", was published in January 2011 and may be previewed and purchased at www.breakingthecodeofhistory.com.
