First Sentier Investors Assessment of Value report for the year ended 31 July 2022

The report reflects our assessment of value delivered to investors in our fund range over the assessment period 1 August 2021 to 31 July 2022. A detailed analysis for each fund is listed firstly by our affiliate investment team (First Sentier Investors, FSSA Investment Managers and Stewart Investors), then in alphabetical order. It is important to note that each fund assessed typically has several share classes, each offering different investment characteristics. As our analysis has been conducted at a share class level, this report will be more useful to you if you are aware of which one(s) you own.

Our core purpose at First Sentier Investors is to achieve long-term investment success for investors through a specialist investment offering and an ongoing commitment to responsible investment and stewardship. This approach, combined with client service and governance, provides the core elements of our overall service quality – and is the central plank in our assessment of value across all funds.

Our report outlines the detailed and robust methodology to our analysis, an approach that we believe leads to better outcomes for investors.

Our assessment determined that out of 92 share classes, 81 were rated Green, confirming they offer value. Nine were rated Amber, where we think there is room for improvement, and and two share classes received an overall Red rating indicating they have been identified as requiring  remedial action. 

We intend this report to be a valuable tool in assessing the value of each of our funds. We welcome its role in improving transparency and information for our investors, and will continue to focus on value as an integral part of our day-to-day management and oversight practices. We hope you find it useful.
