First State Super has awarded Neuberger Berman a $1.6 billion mandate to provide non-market risk premia in emerging market equities with controlled cost.

First State Super said it may eventually move the portfolio in-house alongside other strategies managed internally.

Neuberger Berman Australia joint managing director, Lucas Rooney, said: "First State Super liked our approach to factor based equity investing, which shows low correlation to competitors."
