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.

Asset managers that underestimate the importance of artificial intelligence to their businesses do so at their own peril, according to Anton Eser, global chief investment officer of Robeco, who thinks that many have less than a year to get across the “most important transformation” the industry has seen since the beginning of the index business more than 25 years ago.
