Colonial First State Global Asset Management (CFSGAM) is the consolidated asset management division of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia group and is Australia's largest manager of Australian-sourced funds.
CFSGAM provides investment management services to institutional investors (and to some retail investors with the listed property funds) and we operate internationally (except in New Zealand) under the name First State Investments.
We manage funds across a diverse range of domestic and global asset classes, including Australian and global equities, cash, fixed interest and credit, property securities, listed infrastructure, listed and unlisted property and direct infrastructure.
Being a separate and dedicated funds management business allows us to focus on our key strengths in asset management, while developing a performance culture to better position us to attract and retain quality personnel that will underpin the performance of our client's investments.
