Aberdeen Asia Focus PLC
Discover Asia's next generation of market leaders
We invest in high-quality, smaller companies across Asia, typically with market capitalisations up to £5bn. These are established, listed businesses that are often overlooked by mainstream Asia funds.
With a portfolio that is almost entirely distinct from typical indices, the Trust offers access to under-the-radar opportunities in fast-growing Asian markets.

Superior growth prospects without excess volatility
Asian smaller companies have historically delivered stronger returns than large caps, without more volatility overall*.
This makes them a compelling option for investors seeking long-term growth with diversification and resilience.
