Boutique investment manager Green Ash Partners is bringing on two UCITS funds through a partnership with Centre Asset Management, the Centre American Select Equity fund and the Centre Global Listed Infrastructure fund.
The Centre American Select Equity fund is actively managed with a focus on large-cap holdings. The Centre Global Listed Infrastructure fund searches for holdings with appealing dividends and an “intrinsic hedge” against inflation. It focuses on developed countries and invests across utilities as well as energy, telecommunication, transportation and social infrastructure.

Both funds are overseen by managing director and founder of Centre Asset Management James Abate. They will be available to European investors through Green Ash’s Luxembourg UCITS platform.
“We’re excited to be working with a like-minded boutique business such as Green Ash who is passionate about active management. We want investors to associate the two Centre funds with high conviction, differentiated fund strategies that may not be available elsewhere and are tactical, pragmatic, and opportunistic,” Abate said.
“Each investment strategy aims to capitalize on defined market opportunities with consistent methodology and repeatable investment processes to achieve differentiated returns and risk profiles.”

Abate said Centre Asset Management terminated is previous partnership with Sanlam after the firm left most of its business outside Africa, beginning the relationship with Green Ash.
Miles Cohen, CEO and co-founder of Green Ash, said: “The Centre American Select Equity Fund and the Global Listed Infrastructure Fund are highly complementary to our existing suite of funds, offering diversified exposure and robust risk management that align perfectly with our investment philosophy.
“This partnership with James and his team enhances our capability to provide clients with world-class investment solutions. Centre’s expertise and proven track record in managing equity strategies further strengthen our commitment to delivering superior investment performance and exceptional client service.”
