The First Sentier Ex-20 Australian Share fund targeted companies outside the S&P/ASX Top 20 Index that were growing strongly and generated superior returns on capital, it would be managed by Dushko Bajic, FSI head of Australian equities.
The First Sentier Global Properties Securities fund invested in an actively managed portfolio of 30 to 70 global listed property stocks, led by Stephen Hayes.
