The partnership will involve the US firm's global and US growth strategies for institutional and retail investors in Asia.

Eastspring Investments, the Asian asset management arm of Prudential, has entered into a strategic partnership with US-based equity manager Sustainable Growth Advisers to represent SGA’s global growth and US growth strategies to both institutional and retail investors in Asia.

This strategic partnership will cater to client demand and broaden Eastspring’s product offering, it said in a statement.

SGA focuses on large cap growth strategies. The firm’s global growth and US growth strategies seek to maximise long-term total returns by investing in high quality growth businesses, which will "offer predictable and sustainable growth over the long term".

"Our partnership with SGA will provide our clients access to global and US growth strategies and demonstrates our continued focus on providing a broad range of attractive investment solutions to meet our clients needs,” said Michele Bang, deputy chief executive at Eastspring.

Eastspring Investment has operations in 10 Asian markets, as well as offices in North America and Europe, and has more than 2,500 employees and $170 billion in assets under management, as at 30 June 2017.
