  • Investment Choices for the Wealth Management Plan
    Investment choices for the Wealth Management Plan Investment Choices brochure For the Hong Kong market only. 2 Front cover title goes here Important Information The Wealth Management Plan is an investment-linked assurance scheme (‘ILAS policy’). It is a life assurance policy issued by Quilter International Isle of Man Limited (‘Quilter International’). Your investments are subject to the credit risks of Quilter International. The premiums you pay towards your ILAS policy, any funds that are transferred to Quilter International under the ILAS policy, and any investments made by Quilter International in the underlying funds you select, will become and remain the assets of Quilter International. You do not have any rights or ownership over any of those assets. Your recourse is against Quilter International only. The premiums you pay, after deduction of any applicable fees and charges of your ILAS policy, will be invested by Quilter International in the underlying funds you select. You may also transfer your existing funds, which are funds listed in this Investment Choices brochure, held in your name to Quilter International as a premium payment in kind. Your ILAS policy value will be calculated by Quilter International based on the performance of your selected underlying funds (including the funds that are transferred). Due to the various fees and charges levied by Quilter International on your ILAS policy, the return on your ILAS policy as a whole may be lower than the return of the underlying funds you select (including the funds that are transferred). Early surrender or withdrawal of the policy may result in a significant loss of principal (premiums).

  • Memo Manager Changes Effective: June 8, 2021
    Fund updates The value of active management Effective June 8, 2021, changes to the lineup and weights of money managers have been made to the following Russell Investment Company (RIC) Funds: - U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund - Emerging Markets Fund - Tax-Managed U.S. Mid & Small Cap Fund - Unconstrained Total Return Fund - Short Duration Bond Fund - Multi-Strategy Income Fund - Multi-Asset Growth Strategy Fund U.S. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND Hired manager - BAMCO, Inc. Manager moved to “funded status” with mandate addition - DePrince, Race & Zollo, Inc. Manager moved to a “held but not funded” status - Penn Capital Management Company, Inc. Change rationale Based on a recommendation from Russell Investments Management, LLC (“RIM” or “Russell Investments”), the Fund Board has approved the hire of BAMCO, Inc. (“Baron”). In addition, DePrince, Race & Zollo (“DRZ”) will be moved to “funded” status and will have an additional mandate. In addition, there will be allocation changes to the money managers. Baron will run a specialized mandate focused on stocks within the biotechnology industry. Baron’s addition to the Fund will increase the portion of active risk from stock selection while also mitigating industry risk. Given substantial growth in the opportunity set of public, small cap biotechnology companies over the past decade, Russell Investments believes that the Fund has the potential to benefit from skilled stock selection of a money manager with expertise in the biotechnology industry. Additionally, Russell Investments will reallocate assets to DRZ’s Small Cap Value portfolio (previously “held but not funded”) as well as to its Micro Cap Value strategy (a new mandate) via a blended mandate.

  • Media Release
    Media release First Sentier Investors and MUFG launch Sustainable Investment Institute Inaugural research report addresses global microplastic pollution Tuesday, 11 May 2021: First Sentier Investors, a leading global investment manager, and its shareholder Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation (the Trust Bank), a subsidiary of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG), today jointly launched the First Sentier MUFG Sustainable Investment Institute (the institute). The institute will commission and publish high-quality research on a range of sustainability and sustainable investment related topics. The research aims to enhance industry awareness of sustainable investment, report on market trends and best practice, and promote a greater understanding of how such issues can impact long-term investment performance. The institute’s first report, titled “Microplastic Pollution: Causes, Consequences, and Issues for Investors”, was published today as part of the launch. Microplastic pollution has received considerably less attention from policymakers, companies, and investors than comparable issues such as marine macroplastic pollution and waste management. Researched and authored by Chronos Sustainability, the report explores the critical and growing problem of microplastics and microfibers in the environment and the potential effect on human health. The study outlines regulatory, behavioural and operational actions that should be taken to remove this pollution and prevent more from entering the environment. Mark Steinberg, CEO of First Sentier Investors, said: “Sustainability issues have an impact on society and the environment and increasingly affect the performance of companies, sectors, and economies. As responsible investors, we seek to use our role to highlight these issues and use our influence to make a positive impact on specific sustainability topics that affect us all.

  • Media Release
    Media release First Sentier Investors listed infrastructure strategy now available as a regulated PIE Fund Friday, 23 April 2021: Leading global investment manager, First Sentier Investors, today announced the successful launch of the regulated First Sentier Global Listed Infrastructure Fund (the Fund) in New Zealand. The Fund, which has been available to NZ-based institutional investors for the past few years, will appeal to wholesale and retail investors seeking medium-to long-term capital growth and income from a directly held globally diversified portfolio of infrastructure securities. The Fund’s strategy is based on active, bottom-up security selection which seeks to identify mispricing and minimise risk through quality on-the-ground research and sensible portfolio construction. According to Head of Global Listed Infrastructure, Peter Meany, the strategy will help to meet investor demand for real assets with a global footprint. “Following a year of unprecedented volatility in markets, investors are looking for ways to de-risk their portfolios. Exposure to real assets such as infrastructure can help achieve this goal, with the listed nature of the portfolio providing liquidity and price transparency.” The strategy has a strong focus on the environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of the assets it invests in. ESG issues are fundamental to infastructure companies given their significant service obligations and moral accountability to the communites in which they operate. “The Fund takes a responsible approach to investing in companies that are driving positive structural change – from decarbonising the electricity grid, to reducing urban transport congestion, to building the next generation of digital connectivity,” said Mr Meany.
