The fund award winners were selected through both quantitative and qualitative methods. FE Fundinfo used its Crown Rating methodology to assess funds based on alpha, volatility and consistency of performance and create a shortlist for 14 asset classes.
The shortlist was given to an independent panel of professionals from Asia’s fund selector community in Hong Kong. Each judge selected the funds he or she thought would outperform in the next 12 months. Their aggregated choices determined the Platinum and Gold winners.
FIRM AWARDS
In addition to the fund management awards, there are two firm awards. FSA did not choose the winners of these awards, the fund selector community in Asia did.
We asked the fund selector judges to single out firms that have been a standout in 2019 on two crucial elements of asset management — going the extra mile with client service and product innovation.
We did this by providing a free form question and asking judges to provide comments to justify their choice. FSA totalled up their selections resulting in a Platinum and Gold winner in each of the two categories.
We thank the fund selector judges for their support and congratulations to all the winners.
