Colonial First State Global Asset Management rebrands to

First Sentier Investors

Tokyo, September 17, 2019 --- Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation ("the Trust Bank"), a consolidated subsidiary of MUFG, today announced the rebrand of Colonial First State Global Asset Management (CFSGAM) to First Sentier Investors.

The announcement follows the completion of CFSGAM's sale from Commonwealth Bank of Australia to the Trust Bank on August 2, 2019. Now under the MUFG Group, CFSGAM's name was changed to introduce a globally unified brand.

The new brand was established on September 16, 2019, and CFSGAM's businesses outside of Australia, currently known as First State Investments, will also launch the unified brand by the end of 2020*.

"Sentier" is a word of French origin meaning path. The new brand name reflects the commitment to follow our own path, investing responsibly to create a better future for clients and communities.

*The Stewart Investors, FSSA Investment Managers and Realindex sub-brands will continue to be used.
