About us
Specialists in Asia and Global Emerging Markets
We are a specialist asset manager with a different perspective.
Operating as an autonomous investment team within First Sentier Investors group, we are a team of dedicated investment professionals based in Hong Kong, London and Singapore.
Bottom-up stock pickers
We are bottom-up investors, using fundamental research and analysis to construct high-conviction portfolios. We conduct more than a thousand direct company meetings a year, seeking to identify high quality companies that we can invest in for the long term.
Quality focused
We seek to invest in quality companies, as defined by the strength of their management, franchise and financials. Poor quality businesses do not form a part of our investment universe, no matter how attractive the growth opportunity or valuation becomes.
Responsible investors
As responsible, long-term shareholders, we have integrated ESG analysis into our investment process and engage extensively on environmental, labour and governance issues.
Working together with Manan Trust
We sponsor social impact initiatives through the strategic philanthropic work of Manan Trust.
FSSA staff are invited to work alongside the Manan team throughout the grant making process – assisting with initial due diligence on partner organisations, monitoring and evaluation, relationship building, and annual project visits. Staff engagement brings a deeper perspective to our partnerships, helps ensure accountability, and encourages active global citizenship.
