First Sentier Investors (US) LLC

First Sentier Investors (US) LLC is a subsidiary of First Sentier Investors Group, which is wholly owned by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), the second-largest bank holding company in Japan by assets. This ownership provides the firm with a stable capital base and access to MUFG's global network.

The firm leverages the global research network of First Sentier Investors, including analysts based in London, Sydney, and Singapore. For real assets and infrastructure deals, the team relies on a combination of direct investment origination and relationships with partners and advisors. Many opportunities come from the group's existing portfolio and sector expertise.

The firm serves a mix of institutional clients including pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, and family offices. The US entity is structured as a registered investment adviser providing access to the group's global strategies. It does not operate as a single or multi-family office.

For public equities and fixed income, the firm invests in liquid markets. For real assets and infrastructure, it targets core and core-plus assets with stable cash flows, often operational assets rather than early-stage development. Private credit strategies focus on direct lending to established companies.

The firm has publicly committed to avoiding investment in companies with high carbon energy exposure, tobacco, and controversial weapons. Its ESG-integrated investment approach includes negative screening for firms that do not meet sustainability criteria. The broader group is a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment.
