First Sentier Investors (US) LLC

First Sentier Investors (US) LLC is a subsidiary of First Sentier Investors, a global asset management group headquartered in Australia. The group was originally established as the investment management division of Commonwealth Bank of Australia before being sold to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG). The US entity was established to serve North American clients, offering access to the firm's global investment strategies. The US office focuses on public equities, fixed income, and real assets such as infrastructure and private credit. The firm deploys capital across listed securities and direct investments, often targeting stable income and long-term capital appreciation. Known holdings include infrastructure assets in energy and transportation, per public filings. The firm also manages dedicated ESG-integrated funds and sustainability-linked strategies. The firm operates from its New York headquarters as part of a global network with offices in London, Sydney, Singapore, and other financial hubs. Team size at the US entity is not publicly disclosed, but the broader group employs over 1,000 staff. First Sentier Investors runs several specialized funds, including the First Sentier Global Listed Infrastructure Fund and the First Sentier Multi-Asset Real Return Fund. A key structural point: First Sentier Investors is owned by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, the second-largest bank holding company in Japan by assets. This ownership provides the US entity with a stable capital base and a long-term investment horizon uncommon among independent US asset managers. The firm also maintains a dedicated stewardship and engagement team, reflecting a governance-driven approach distinct from purely returns-focused peers.
