Announcing The Finalists In The Research IP Fund Manager Of The Year Awards 2021 On 2 December

The Research IP Fund Manager of the Year Awards are back in 2021, to round out the year that was and recognise the best fund managers in the country.

The virtual event is free to attend at 3pm on Thursday 2 December, register at https://research-ip.com/awards/

Research IP has powered awards in New Zealand since 2015 and proudly sits behind the eponymous awards. The use of managed funds has continued to grow in New Zealand despite the NZX having an indifferent year. Investors are committed to investing in managed funds, as such the awards will play a role by identifying the top-performing money managers, with categories such as Fund Manager of the Year, Boutique Manager of the Year, KiwiSaver Manager of the Year, and Responsible Investment Manager of the Year, the latter being escalated to a major category. This, in part, is due to the work Research IP undertook in its 2021 Responsible Investment paper, peeling back the layers of a very complex topic. https://research-ip.com/responsible-investing/

The Research IP Awards also emphasise the expertise of advisers in the wealth management equation, with an Advisers’ Choice award for the best fund managers in four different categories including KiwiSaver. There is still time to have your say at https://research-ip.com/awards/.

Darren Howlin, Managing Director of Research IP said “While we are virtual again for 2021, we believe our awards bring together strong recognition of the investment management industry. We plan to announce the winners at 3pm NZT on Thursday 2 December. The 2021 online awards will come packed with some insights from fund managers, the risks to their portfolios, their thoughts about working from home and importantly walking the talk on ESG and carbon footprints. There are some fascinating takeaways.”
