We build portfolios with diverse sources of returns
Exploring fixed income investments in Australia, our specialist team aims to generate performance through uncorrelated sources. We believe this approach provides a greater scope for successfully meeting investment objectives and generating attractive risk-adjusted returns.
An allocation to Australian fixed income can help preserve capital during periods of weakness in equities and other growth asset classes. Many well diversified portfolios maintain meaningful allocations to bonds. As well as their defensive characteristics, bonds earn regular income and typically provide higher yields than bank deposits.
Why invest with us?
First Sentier Investors offers a range of both active and passively managed strategies, primarily focused on domestic bond markets.
Our expertise extends across the full fixed income spectrum, encompassing traditional government bonds, credit and inflation-linked strategies. We also have the expertise to run ‘passive enhanced’ style portfolios and have a proven ability to generate above-benchmark performance outcomes in this space.
As well as managing established unit trusts, we have a proven ability to manage bespoke, segregated mandates that are tailored according to clients’ individual requirements and objectives.
FirstSentier Investors is among the largest and most experienced managers of Australian-based fixed income solutions.
We are able to source a variety of investment opportunities both within Australia and overseas, utilising the insights of specialist resources in the world’s largest bond markets.
A ‘balanced risk’ approach seeks to diversify performance drivers and generate consistent outperformance through the full market cycle.
Our portfolios are unconstrained by a ‘house view’ – managers have the discretion to utilise a range of varied and uncorrelated performance drivers.
We seek to deliver long-term excess returns, but have an over-arching emphasis on protecting capital.
Best-in-class ESG integration: we consider environmental, social and governance indicators alongside traditional indicators of financial performance.

Active opportunities in State Government securities
Bonds issued by State Governments in Australia typically offer yields that are above comparable securities issued by the Commonwealth Government. The amount of extra yield can vary over time. When well timed, buying or selling State Government bonds can therefore generate additional returns for actively managed portfolios.
State Government bond spreads - the additional yield offered over and above comparable Commonwealth Government securities
