Investment philosophy and approach

Page 6: Latam presentation final   citywire event

Investment philosophy and approach

• We believe that, over the long term, share prices reflect underlying business

fundamentals

• We identify ‘best ideas’ at reasonable/cheap valuations via company visits

• Risk is investing in a poor quality company and/or overpaying, and not benchmark-

relative

• Emphasis on collective wisdom of team, not stars

5

We do not trade, but invest for the long term – and only in

companies that we understand and can value

Page 7: Latam presentation final   citywire event

Aberdeen investment process: quality first then price

Why invest in Latin America?

Page 10: Latam presentation final   citywire event

Why invest in Latin America?

• Improved economic fundamentals, robust financial institutions and rise of stable

democracies support growth prospects

• Young populations and a growing workforce with enhanced earning and spending

power will drive domestic growth and investment

• Developing financial systems providing a deepening pool for institutional and retail

investors within region

• Growing pool of well managed companies with declining corporate debt levels, healthy

profitability and attractive valuations

• Improving corporate governance should lead to further re-ratings

Access to the continual shift towards domestic consumption and the broadening

of the market

Page 19: Latam presentation final   citywire event

Outlook Summary

• Economic recovery has cooled to varying degrees

• Domestic demand should help support economic growth

• Macro performance does not translate into stock market performance

• Stock selection & proprietary research is key – investing in companies, not

economies

• Companies across Latin America are in good shape and continue to improve
