Australia Equity Income strategy

The Martin Currie Australia Equity Income strategy seeks to provide a growing income stream by investing in a diversified portfolio of high-quality companies.

Martin Currie Australia is a leading innovator of active equity investment solutions, with over 35 years of history investing in Australian equities on behalf of both domestic and international clients.

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

Our approach is premised on the philosophy that high-quality companies that have solid earnings can sustain dividends, match rises in the cost of living and are likely to be less volatile than the wider equity market.  

We rely on our complementary fundamental and quantitative research, and our collective insights into the current investment landscape, to identify opportunities.
