Company information
At Colonial First State, we’ve been helping Australians with their investment needs since 1988. In that time we've become one of Australia's leading wealth management groups, with more than A$90 billion under management globally.
How did we get here? Strong investment performance, efficient administration, value for money and award-winning service have all played a part.
But there's something else. We’re passionate about what we do.
In all areas of our business, we're absolutely dedicated to the financial well-being of our clients – no matter how big or small their investments.
Our products
We provide investment, superannuation and retirement products to individuals as well as to corporate and superannuation fund investors. Our wide range and investment management expertise spans Australian and global shares, property, fixed interest, credit, infrastructure and private equity.
In addition, our FirstChoice product offers over 100 investment options. Some of these options are managed by us and others by well-known investment managers and specialist boutique managers. We’re also a leader in providing value for money, and offer the choice of retail and wholesale investment products.
Our awards
Our consistent and disciplined approach to investing has been acknowledged by many awards within the investment management industry. See our latest awards.
Our services
Service is at the heart of our business, which is why we don’t outsource our customer service expertise. And we’ve also made it simple for you to keep track of your investments online, over the phone, in person, or by mail.
Our people
Our people strive to be passionate, accountable, proactive and respectful, and we actively promote these values through training and management. Most importantly, we never lose sight of the fact that we’re responsible for other people's money.
In the community
At Colonial First State, we not only care about the well-being of our customers, but also the community as a whole. So we’ve introduced a number of initiatives that will benefit those in need, including the Staff Community Fund, Earth Hour, and our sponsorship of the Sydney Morning Herald Half Marathon.
