Comgest, together with RobecoSAM, has been awarded a EUR400 million mandate with French public service additional pension scheme, Établissement de Retraite Additionnelle de la Fonction Publique (ERAFP).
Comgest’s Asia and Japan equity team will manage the mandate, focusing on Pacific-Rim equities through a responsible investment strategy.
Arnaud Cosserat, CIO, Comgest, says: “To be awarded this mandate from a prestigious organisation such as ERAFP is testament to our team’s valuable expertise, following over 20 years of successful investing in Japan and Asia, and to our robust investment strategy that seeks to identify quality growth companies that will outperform over the long term. This portfolio will place particular emphasis on our integrated ESG approach that has become signature to Comgest’s quality-driven investment style.”
Philippe Desfossés, ERAFP, says: “Comgest’s selection for this mandate makes sense as their team has a disciplined investment philosophy with a successful long term track record in combining strong performance.”
