Folkestone’s funds added to CFS FirstWrap
The Folkestone Maxim A-REIT Securities Fund has been added to Colonial First State FirstWrap.

Folkestone’ head of funds management, Adrian Harrington said: “We are delighted by the growing adviser demand for the fund.
“Over the last two years, we have seen growing our presence in the retail market with the fund now available on a range of platforms including: Asgard eWrap, Asgard Infinity, BT Wrap, BT Panorama, Hub 24, IOOF Pursuit, Macquarie wrap, Netwealth, Powerwrap, Symmetry and uXchange.
“We also have an SMA with Mason Stevens and are running MDAs for a financial advisory group and a number of Family Office.”
