The Fund Awards recognise the top talent in the funds management industry across 19 categories and rely on Zenith’s independent insights and experience in assessing investment capabilities.
PIMCO has been crowned 2018 Fund Manager of the Year for the first time, after being represented in two categories at this year’s awards: winner of Global and Diversified Fixed Interest and finalist in Australian Fixed Interest. Pinnacle Investment Management took out Distributor of the Year for the third year running, reflecting its dominance in multi-affiliate distribution.
With approximately 4,000 funds under its research radar, Zenith aims to be the partner of choice for Australian advice firms seeking investment research, consulting and portfolio solutions.
Zenith Managing Partner David Wright said “we congratulate all 19 winners for their outstanding achievements, and for all finalists marking this occasion, we recognise their contribution in pushing the boundaries on what our industry can deliver to Australian investors.”
