BlackRock, Franklin Templeton and UBS each won in two categories.
FSA’s awards were based on quantitative data from FE, which uses its Crown Rating methodology that rates funds using three separate tests: alpha, volatility and consistency. FE filtered out the best performers in 15 asset classes and created a shortlist.
The shortlist was then given to an independent panel of professionals from Asia’s fund selector community, who picked funds they thought would outperform in the next 12 months. Their aggregated choices determined the Platinum and Gold winners.

On January 28, FSA announced the award winning funds for Hong Kong, which can be viewed here.
Thanks to the judges, to our partner FE, and congratulations to the winners!
