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.

The $205 billion Aware Super says that around 15 per cent of assets in its high-growth option are exposed to the AI thematic, but says that finding the portfolio's true concentration will require looking beyond simple dollar aggregation. Head of investment strategy Michael Winchester unpacks the approach and why the fund has to be “really discerning” with where it allocates to in the future.
