Fund Manager of the Year Awards 2019 – Winners

The winners of the 2019 Good Returns Fund of the Year Awards – Powered by Research IP have been declared. There were some interesting battles between active and passive funds along with value and growth strategies.

Fund Manager of Year battle between active and passive

The battle for this year’s Good Returns Fund Manager of the Year came down to two active managers against a passive manager.

“Research IP is cognisant that investors may choose a fund because it is award winning and Good Returns wants to acknowledge outstanding performance in the last 12 months, but through Research IP’s rigorous process, we can ensure the best managers are awarded each year.”
Research IP managing director Darren Howlin says.

This year’s awards featured a new Adviser Choice category. More than 600 votes were cast this year. Advisers choose Milford Asset Management in the fixed interest category; Mint Asset Management in property and infrastructure; and Fisher Funds for equities.
