NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With growing demand from US and Canadian investors for systematic and fundamental investing, Vontobel has made available select strategies from its Vescore and Sustainable Equities boutiques.

• The mtx Sustainable Emerging Markets Leaders Strategy invests across global emerging market equities, seeking companies with above-average quality in terms of return on invested capital and strong industry positions that are able to invest in future growth.
• The mtx China A-Shares Leaders Strategy seeks to invest in stocks of companies characterized by high return on invested capital and strong market positions. Stocks in the portfolio qualify as either China A-Shares or are linked to China A-Shares.

�With more than 30 years� worth of investment management, Vontobel has established its global success through differentiated investment expertise,� said Thomas Wittwer, Chief Executive Officer of Vontobel Asset Management, Inc.
