The London Stock Exchange-listed vehicle will invest in multiple sectors, but will focus on smaller companies in the Asia Pacific and global emerging market.
The service will charge 1% of net assets per year as management fee, with ongoing charge capped at 1.5%.
Ashish Swarup and Tom Allen will serve as lead managers on the trust. The board of ScotGems will be chaired by William Salomon, while Angus Tulloch will serve as non-independent director.
“Stewart Investors has a proven long-term investment record, particularly in Asia Pacific and global emerging markets. The idea of focusing on smaller family-owned companies makes sound investment sense,” Salomon noted.
