Winners of FSA Fund Awards revealed

The Singapore winners of Fund Selector Asia's second annual fund management awards have been announced, highlighted by First State winning in three categories.

The Platinum and Gold winners were revealed at our awards luncheon, held at the Tower Club in Singapore on January 18.

First State won in three cateogries and JP Morgan, Invesco and UBS AM each won in two categories.

FSA’s awards were based on quantitative data from FE Advisory, which uses its Crown Rating methodology that asseses funds based on alpha, volatility and consistency.

FE first filtered out the best performers in 15 asset classes and created a shortlist. That was given to an independent panel of professionals from Asia’s fund selector community in Singapore, who picked funds they thought would outperform in the next 12 months.

Their aggregated choices determined the Platinum and Gold winners.

The Singapore shortlist is here.

This year, the FSA Awards included two funds, one active, one passive, chosen by FE Advisory for the Newcomer Awards. The candidates were funds identified as quality products with a comparatively short track record that present a strong investment case for the year of 2016.

For active funds, they needed to demonstrate they could be potential FSA Award winners in the future. For passive fund contenders, FE selected the winner by considering the funds’ tracking error since launch, its fees and cost competitiveness, and the product ideas.

Hong Kong Awards

The Hong Kong award winning funds will be announced on January 27 at the awards luncheon at Club Lusitano.

The Hong Kong shortlist can be viewed here.

Thanks to the judges, to our partner FE Advisory, and congratulations to the winners.
