FSA’s awards are based on data from FE Advisory Asia, which filters the universe of funds in Hong Kong (1341 eligible funds) and Singapore (2490 eligible funds) using its Crown Rating system, which rates funds using three separate tests: alpha, volatility and consistency.
The shortlists were then given to independent panels of well-known professionals from Asia’s fund selector community in Hong Kong and in Singapore.
The judges’ selections from the shortlists will determine two winners in each category (Platinum and Gold).
In both Hong Kong and Singapore, the awards have 15 categories. Below are the shortlisted fund candidates (with Citicodes) for the first three categories from both jurisdictions.
In the coming days we will be publishing the shortlisted funds for the remaining categories.
