Acadian Asset Management

Manager Overview

Acadian Asset Management (Australia) is a Sydney-based joint venture between Acadian Asset Management and Colonial First State, formed to provide investment management services for Australian equity products. Acadian Australia's investment philosophy centres on the belief that markets are inefficient and that many stocks are undervalued relative to their long-term prospects. They believe, however, that stocks should be evaluated not simply by how cheap they look on simplistic measures (such as price/book or price/earnings) but that additional information should be used to target attractively valued companies that also have positive earnings and price characteristics.

Manager's responsible investing approach

Acadian has a long history and deep experience with Responsible Investing. Aside from regulatory or specific client requirements, its commitment to ESG innovation is for the principal purpose of enhancing risk-adjusted returns. Acadian signed on the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative in 2021 and is committed to Climate Action 100+ and the TCFD. Also, it is a member of the Investor Alliance for Human Rights and Investors Against Slavery & Trafficking.

Acadian Wholesale Sustainable Global Equity Fund

Strategy Summary

The fund's investment strategy is based on the belief that markets are inefficient, creating price anomalies that can be exploited by a disciplined, objective investment process. Acadian's investment approach employs structured stock and peer group valuation models, which are designed to capture a broad range of relevant characteristics such as quality, value, earnings growth and price-related factors. This aims to systematically unearth securities with unrecognised value, as well as improving earnings prospects, to help unlock that value. The fund does not hedge currency risk.
