Vontobel targets Asian investors via Janus

Vontobel Asset Management, a New York-based specialist in US equity value investing, is targeting Asian institutional investors for the first time. Peter Newell, managing director, has just completed his inaugural visit to Hong Kong to market the firm's newly created, Dublin-domiciled US Value Fund. The fund has also just been registered with Hong Kong authorities so that it is available to retail investors, although for now the focus is on the institutional market.
