First Sentier Group Assessment of Value report

Our core purpose at First Sentier Group 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 central to our assessment of value across all funds and share classes.

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 83% of share classes have an overall Green rating and offer value to investors. The remaining 17% of share classes were rated Amber and have opportunities for improvement, and as a Board we are continually assessing these. Like last year, no share classes have been rated Red.

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