Australian equities

Australian equities overview

Investing in Australian Equities

First Sentier Investors, formerly Colonial First State Global Asset Management, is one of the largest and most influential investors in the Australian share market, with four distinct Australian equity strategies.

Australian Equities Growth

Our distinct blend of growth and quality has delivered outperformance through market cycles
Dedicated to uncovering Australian companies that are growing revenue and earnings strongly over time, we know what drives superior returns over the long term – rigorous stock research and understanding industry dynamics.

Small & Mid Caps

An experienced manager in an under-researched market segment
Outside of the heavily researched S&P/ASX 50 Index lies the fast-paced world of Australian small and medium sized companies. Our portfolio managers have worked together for more than a decade and have delivered consistent absolute returns with above market performance over the medium and long term.

Equity Income

A broader, all-weather approach to equity income
We believe conservative equity income investors deserve access to the best ideas across the share market. We invest across the S&P/ASX 150 – including stocks that pay no dividends – to generate regular and consistent income through all market conditions.

Emerging Companies

We have a talent for finding businesses who are set up for success, and help fund their future
The small and micro-cap market is crowded, but our team has more than 24 years’ experience identifying the companies with solid foundations set for a bright future.
