The best fund managers in the county will be recognised this afternoon at an awards ceremony in Sydney, hosted by Professional Planner and Zenith Investment Partners.
The Professional Planner/Zenith Fund Awards 2012 are structured to reward those fund management firms judged to have the best philosophy, processes and people to consistently and reliably deliver on their investment promise to investors.
The awards, based on Zenith’s highly respected research methodology, cover 15 distinct fund categories, as well as Fund Distributor of the Year and Fund Manager of the Year. A full list of the finalists appears below.
This year marks the first time that Professional Planner has joined forces with Zenith to recognise excellence in the local fund management industry.
Professional Planner Online will publish a full list of winners and finalists when they are announced this afternoon. Full coverage of the awards, including interviews with the winners, will appear in the November 2012 edition of Professional Planner magazine.
