Shaw and Partners hosted 80+ investors for a boardroom lunch today, launching the EFG Asset Management (EFGAM) US Future Leaders Roadshow in the Sydney office.

EFG Asset Management’s New Capital Funds are a series of high-conviction strategies designed to produce long-term and sustainable alpha opportunities. The goal of the US Future Leaders Strategy is to identify the next Facebook, Apple or Starbucks; discovering companies that are poised to dominate multi-billion dollar markets over the next decade.

Shaw and Partners CIO, Martin Crabb gave a comprehensive equity market outlook touching on topical themes including the impact of all time low interest rates, the slowing economy and the China Growth Pulse on domestic markets.

Donald Klotter, Global Head of Institutional Sales at EFG then spoke about the New Capital Funds’ investment philosophy, the EFG Future Leaders scholars panel and how they identify rapidly-growing businesses with opportunity to develop into future mid/large-cap companies, primarily via organic growth.

The roadshow continues this week in Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane, concluding in Perth next week.
