For the second year in a row COVID-19 sees New Zealand’s best fund managers being recognised at Research IP’s digital awards. The Fund Manager of the Year 2021 takes place on 2 December.
The Research IP Fund Manager of the Year Awards are back in 2021 in an online format, to round out the second year of lock downs hampering the ability to host the awards in person. These awards recognise the best fund managers in the country.
While March 2020 saw a large dip when markets sold off due to Covid 19, 2021 has not held back with equity markets booming past previous highs and interest rates anchored at all time lows. Managed funds have seen mixed growth from a funds under management perspective. Consumers are still looking more critically at avenues to build their wealth and how they access investment markets directly or via financial advisers. The awards continue to play a crucial role by recognising the top-performing money managers, with categories such as Fund Manager of the Year, Boutique Manager of the Year and KiwiSaver of the Year.
For the second year in a row we have delayed the awards as long as we could, hoping to host them in person, but virtual it is. Sadly this also includes Auckland based Andy Mahony being grounded. 2021 has remained a fascinating year, but the tone of central banks and economies is changing to one of living with a COVID world.
Please mark your diary for 3pm NZT on Thursday December 2.
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.
