First Sentier Investors

Overview

First Sentier Investors is an institutional-registered investment adviser organized as a corporation that primarily serves institutional clients. The firm operates with a fee model that includes both asset-based fees and performance-linked fees and reports activity as a CPO/CTA while providing portfolio management for investment companies, pooled investment vehicles, and businesses or institutions. Ownership is recorded as a mix of a foreign entity and individual owners. The firm identifies itself as an active ESG investor and does not position itself as a capital allocator; instead, it appears to manage and sponsor pooled structures and outsource to third-party managers for certain strategies. Regulatory filings show the adviser has been SEC-registered since 2012 and maintains a set of industry roles and affiliations beyond pure advisory work — including broker-dealer relationships, banking/thrift and trust company connections, insurance-company links, and sponsor or GP activity for pooled investment vehicles. Those institutional-sponsor capabilities align with its advisory footprint across investment companies and collective vehicles.
