The Downing Fox fireside chat series: GIB Asset Management
Fund Manager Simon Evan-Cook sits down with Kunal Desai, Portfolio Manager at GIB Asset Management.

For investment professionals only.
Welcome to the second edition of the Downing Fox ‘fireside chats’. At the heart of the Downing Fox investment approach lies the concept of the ‘hive mind’ – a belief in the power of collaborative thinking. We place our trust in a group of skilled and driven active fund managers, whose shared insights and decisions are central to achieving strong investment outcomes.
In this video, Simon Evan-Cook, speaks with Kunal Desai from GIB Asset Management, one of the managers of the GIB Emerging Markets Active Engagement Fund. Simon and Kunal discuss what the fund does, how it differs to the average emerging markets fund, and how a ‘true approach’ to active fund management is applied.
