The Good Returns Fund Manager of the Year Awards – Powered by Research IP are back in 2020. We have delayed the awards as long as we could, hoping that borders would open, but we have decided to proceed with a virtual event on Friday 4 December to round out the year that was; with a bang.
It has been a fascinating year in investment markets & around the world, and we feel it is important to recognise fund management talent through this challenging time.
Please mark your diary for 4pm NZT on Friday December 4.
We promise to keep it short and sweet, and encourage you to bring your team together wherever possible and use this occasion to mark the year that was with a glass of champagne, or kiwifruit juice.
