Chester Asset Management is proud to announce that the Chester High Conviction Fund has been selected as one of three new additions to the Third Link Growth Fund, alongside Australian Eagle and Firetrail Investments.
Third Link is a unique Australian equities fund of funds that donates its management fee, net of expenses, to charity. Since inception, the fund has given more than $23 million to not-for-profit organisations focused on youth, education and employment, while delivering strong, long-term investment performance. This is made possible by the generosity of underlying managers, like Chester, who rebate their management and performance fees in full.
Chester’s High Conviction Fund brings a focused, research-driven portfolio of 25–40 high-conviction Australian equities. With over $1.5 billion in funds under management, the strategy has outperformed the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index by 5.8% p.a. after fees since 2013¹ and has been recognised with industry accolades, including Money magazine’s Best Australian Shares Fund (2023 & 2024) and Financial Newswire Fund Manager of the Year (2023).
“We are thrilled to be part of the Third Link Growth Fund and support its dual mandate of returns and impact,” said Rob Tucker, Portfolio Manager at Chester. “We are proud to contribute to a fund with such a meaningful purpose.”
Third Link’s founder and portfolio manager Chris Cuffe AO added:
“We’re thrilled to welcome Australian Eagle, Chester, and Firetrail to the Third Link Growth Fund. Their inclusion strengthens what is now a stellar line-up of investment managers. By leveraging their expertise, we aim to enhance investment performance for our investors, while continuing to support our nominated charities through the generous rebate of all management and performance fees.”
Chester is honoured to contribute to Third Link’s mission, delivering strong investment outcomes while making a tangible difference in the community.
