HESTA has re-worked a significant portion of its international equities portfolio, awarding $300 million in mandates to three global long/short equities managers.
The managers are: Acadian, which won a $110 million mandate, and AXA Rosenberg and AQR, which both won $95 million mandates. The managers have been appointed with the expectation that they outperform the benchmark by 5 per cent and thus drive “;HESTA’s strong growth in assets”;, HESTA investments and governance manager, Robert Fowler, said. The mandates represent 10 per cent of the fund’s international equities allocation. HESTA now holds $12 billion in funds under management, up from $9.8 billion at the beginning of the financial year.

Some investors are “missing the point” of geopolitical risks by equating them to the disruptions from conflicts and wars, according to GIC chief economist Prakash Kannan, but in reality, geopolitical risk is no longer episodic or peripheral. This means investors need to think harder about inflation and country composition in their portfolio.
