Jun Bei Liu. Emma Fisher. Armina Rosenberg. A trove of high-profile female investment managers have thrown their support behind an investment fund that aims to advance female equality and opportunity.
The Future Generation Women fund will be announced later today and has begun accepting applications.
Like Future Generation’s other projects, it will allocate funds to Australian and global equities managed by leading female fund managers and seek to best the S&P/ASX300 Accumulation and MSCI AC World indexes.
The fund, which charges no management or performance fees, will donate 1 per cent of its average monthly net assets to local non-profits advancing economic equality and opportunities for women and their children.
FGW’s bench of Australian equity fund managers includes WaveStone Capital portfolio manager Catherine Allfrey, Yarra Capital Management portfolio manager Katie Hudson, and First Sentier Investors head of small and mid-cap companies Dawn Kanelleas.
In global equities, FGW selected Northcape Capital’s Fleur Wright, Magellan’s Nikki Thomas, Antipodes Partners portfolio manager Vihari Ross and Minotaur co-founder Rosenberg, whose newly launched fund returned 7.7 per cent in November alone.
