Polish your EM results release and investor presentation

Emerging-markets companies often report strong results in English that undersells them. Translated phrasing, buried headlines and unclear guidance make foreign investors work too hard – and many won't.

I have spent about 25 years in emerging markets on the buy side: as an equity trader and senior equity trader at Genesis Investment Management in London (an EM long-only manager with about $20bn under management), as a senior trader at Och-Ziff in Hong Kong, where I wrote the daily firmwide note, and later as Head of Institutional Trading at ITI Capital and Head of Investments at Visor Capital. I know what international fund managers look for when they open a results release or an investor deck, and what makes them stop reading.

I will:
- Edit your results release, presentation or annual report narrative into clear, natural, native English (en-GB, or US English on request)
- Bring the key numbers and messages to the top
- Make sure guidance, drivers and outlook read clearly and consistently
- Flag points a foreign investor is likely to question
- Keep your facts, figures and disclosures exactly as you supply them

I hold a Cambridge History BA (2:1) and am IMC and HKEX qualified.
