FSSA Investment Managers is an autonomous team within the First Sentier Investors group, with dedicated investment professionals in Hong Kong, London and Singapore.

Key investment themes

FSSA Investment Managers portfolios are built company by company based on our analysis of share price drivers, with little regard for index positioning or how the broader market will perform.  We are focused on growth in an absolute return sense, constructing portfolios of high quality companies that are supported by long-term investment themes.

Long-term investment themes

  • Dominant consumer franchises

    With favourable demographics and populations that are still growing – particularly in Southeast Asia and India – we believe dominant consumer franchises offer good growth over the long term.

  • High quality financials

    Banks and high quality financials should benefit from similar drivers as consumer businesses: demographics, rising incomes and urbanisation.

  • Rising healthcare spending

    Many countries are under-invested in healthcare compared to the global average. As these economies become richer, we expect healthcare and health-related spending to rise. 

  • A connected and automated world

    As the world embraces a digital future, Asian technology firms should benefit from strong end demand and a growing market. At the same time, lower-cost robots allows manufacturers to automate their processes.

Environmental, Social Governance (ESG): more than just a label
