Time to buy

Bajaj (above), manager of the £409m portfolio for nine years, says he finds it easier to find good, undervalued companies in China than in India, where he has valuation concerns after a sharp stock market rise.

Although conditions in China appear difficult and consumer confidence has been weakened by the real estate downturn, he firmly believes now is the right time to buy.

Following his presentation, Bajaj will be interviewed by Citywire's Gavin Lumsden. There will then be time at the end of the meeting to question the fund manager in a question-and-answer session.
