FSA’s fund awards are based on data from FE Advisory Asia, which applies the filters of alpha, volatility and consistency of performance over three years to narrow down the universe of funds in Hong Kong (1345 eligible funds) and Singapore (2652 eligible funds).
The shortlists are 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 14 categories. Below are the shortlisted fund candidates (with Citicodes) for the first four categories from both jurisdictions.
In the coming days we will be publishing the shortlisted funds for the remaining categories.
