RE change for 13 First Sentier funds
First Sentier Investors has announced 13 funds will see a change in responsible entity from Colonial First State Investments to The Trust Company.
The change would become effective on 1 March, 2021 and affect 13 funds (listed below).
Colonial First State said it felt it was an “appropriate time” to retire as responsible entity given the firm’s change in ownership to Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation.
Liz Hastilow, managing director, Australia and New Zealand, First Sentier Investors, said: “First Sentier Investors’ strong investment and client servicing capabilities combined with The Trust Company’s depth of experience in fund compliance and governance will ensure our clients are well looked after. It is critical that our clients’ funds are well supported in every respect”.
Vicki Riggio, general manager of managed funds services at The Trust Company added: “The Trust Company is proud to be appointed as the responsible entity for the First Sentier Investors funds following the result of the unit holders’ meeting and to be working with an investment manager of the calibre of First Sentier Investors.
“As a leading, independent responsible entity supporting more than 70 Australian and international investment managers, we believe we are well positioned to oversee these funds.”
