New Star – energy and expertise from proven performers


At New Star Asset Management, our primary objective is to provide our investors with superior investment returns across a broad range of asset classes from equities, bonds and commercial property through to more specialist areas such as financials.


Since our foundation in 2000, New Star has become established as one of the leading brands in the retail fund management industry as well as a significant manager of institutional funds and alternative investments. This has been achieved by employing talented and experienced people across all our activities.


As a genuinely active fund management company, we maintain an environment in which the finest fund managers can focus on making investors richer, with as much freedom to invest as possible, subject always to rigorous monitoring, control and compliance. Our fund management team comprises some of the most talented and experienced fund managers in the industry and we also devote time and energy to developing the skills of younger investment professionals. New Star is, however, more than just a collection of talented individuals. Our culture encourages our investment teams to share and debate stock ideas within a dynamic and free-thinking environment.


The quality of our fund managers has received endorsement from independent ratings agencies and financial data groups such as Standard & Poor's, OBSR and Citywire. Most recently, the company was named Asset Management Firm of the Year in the Global Investor Magazine Editorial Awards for 2007 while Professional Adviser magazine named New Star as Best Multi-Manager Group of the Year.


Our fund management team is supported by equally talented and experienced people in such areas as customer service, fund administration, intermediary sales and fund marketing while our senior executives have been carefully selected to enable us to achieve our goals of sustained expansion. This means New Star is a well-capitalised forward-looking business with a culture of excellence where the staff are focused on serving our clients and ensuring our investment products and services more than match their requirements.


Our progress to date has been most encouraging. We have been delighted by the response we have received from investors and intermediaries and we look forward to New Star making further progress as we develop our products around the world.


Our overwhelming priority, permeating everything we do, is to produce the best possible results for our investors.


John Duffield, Chairman
