NEW YORK, May 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Fiera Capital Inc. ("Fiera Capital" or "the Firm"), an affiliate of Fiera Capital Corporation (TSX: FSZ), launches its new Fiera Capital Global Equity Focused Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is invested in a concentrated portfolio of the Global Equity Team's highest conviction ideas from across global, developed, and select emerging markets and seeks to achieve capital appreciation. The Fund, which is available through an Investor Class and an Institutional Class, will typically hold 15 to 30 stock positions.

"We are proud to offer this institutional-grade strategy from our highly regarded Global Equity team to individual investors and investment advisors in a public fund vehicle," said Benjamin Thompson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fiera Capital's US divison, Fiera Capital Inc.
