TEAM
NEW YORK, May 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Fiera Capital
Inc. ("Fiera Capital" or "the Firm"), an affiliate of Fiera Capital
Corporation (TSX: FSZ), launches its new Fiera Capital Global
Equity Focused Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is invested in a
concentrated portfolio of the Global Equity Team's highest
conviction ideas from across global, developed, and select emerging
markets and seeks to achieve capital appreciation. The Fund, which
is available through an Investor Class and an Institutional Class,
will typically hold 15 to 30 stock positions.
"We are proud to offer this institutional-grade strategy from
our highly regarded Global Equity team to individual investors and
investment advisors in a public fund vehicle," said Benjamin Thompson, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Fiera Capital's US divison, Fiera Capital Inc. "We
believe it is an attractive solution for investors searching for
exposure in developed markets and flexibility to invest in emerging
markets and it also allows individual investors to have access to a
top-tier manager."
The Fund is managed by Nadim
Rizk, Senior Vice President and Lead Portfolio Manager, and
Andrew Chan, Vice President and
Portfolio Manager, Global Equity. The team currently manages over
US$15 billion in assets, and is
responsible for the Fiera Capital Global Equity, International
Equity and US Equity quality growth strategies. The Fund's
Portfolio Managers manage another investment strategy that is
substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Fiera Capital Global
Equity Focused strategy (the "Strategy") was originally launched in
August 2014 to institutional
clients.
