Acorn Capital has made a new appointment, with Paul Quah joining as portfolio manager/analyst for its Asian Small Cap fund.

In his new role, Mr Quah will be will responsible for analysing and selecting stocks in the consumer discretionary sector across all Asian markets (excluding Japan) in his new role.

Acorn Capital head of Asia Douglas Loh said Mr Quah’s experience of Asian markets fits well with the company’s investment approach.

“Acorn Capital has a rigorous research process that has allowed us to achieve long-term capital growth for investors in the Australian micro cap space, which we have now taken to the Asian small cap market,” Mr Loh said.
 
“Our research has shown that Asian markets are not as efficient at pricing stocks as other more developed markets, particularly small cap stocks.
 
“Acorn Capital’s investment strategy is to take advantage of this inefficiency through our research focus, which includes spending a great deal of time in Asia visiting companies and talking with management, and this is already delivering good returns for investors.”

Mr Quah joins Acorn after a role spanning six years at Hong Kong-based broker CLSA Asia Pacific, where he was head of regional small mid cap research.

He has also worked at Macquarie Securities in Hong Kong as deputy head of small cap research and UBS Securities in Sydney as an analyst.
