The next step in the awards process — which is already underway — is qualitative.
Two separate panels of judges in the fund selector community, one panel in Hong Kong and one in Singapore, will choose one fund from each asset class, providing a qualitative layer over the quantitative shortlist.
The judges’ votes will be tallied, resulting in a Platinum and Gold winner in each of the 15 asset classes.
Winners will be officially announced at our awards luncheons in January.
Best of luck to everyone on the shortlists!
