Nick and Gabriel discuss the investment case for Asian smaller companies and the evolving outlook for emerging markets. Drawing on more than 17 years of experience at Aberdeen, Gabriel explains why he believes the region offers attractive long-term growth opportunities. The conversation explores the drivers behind renewed investor interest in emerging markets, including diversification away from the US, the recovery in sentiment towards China, and the structural growth stories in India and Vietnam. Gabriel outlines Aberdeen Asia Focus plc's investment philosophy, emphasising high-quality businesses, strong governance, disciplined portfolio construction, and the importance of identifying under-researched companies with sustainable competitive advantages.

What is A Different Perspective?
A Different Perspective is a Zeus podcast, hosted by Nick Searle, Head of Equity Capital Markets. In the different perspective podcast we speak to interesting characters within finance and business to understand more about their personal journey and ambitions. This is co-mingled with a discussion about their business. It’s more about the formation of the individual than the business per se; thus trying to gain that different perspective.
