FirstChoice mandate for Solaris
Boutique funds manager Solaris Investment Management has been awarded a mandate to become part of Colonial First State’s FirstChoice Boutique Australian Share Fund line-up.
The Brisbane-based boutique announced the mandate today, with managing director Denis Donohue saying it had taken funds under management to $3.4 billion since its inception in January last year.
He said total funds under management had grown rapidly thanks in part to the confidence shown by advisers and institutional investors in the company’s boutique Australian equities funds management model.
