Revealed: Finalists For Fund Manager Of The Year Awards 2019

Taking place at Grosvenor House in London on 27 June, the awards recognise the outstanding achievements of fund managers who are shaping the future of the investment industry.

A permanent fixture in the investment industry's calendar, the 2019 Awards evening is set to be another night to remember to celebrate the success and achievements of the shortlisted fund managers.

The first stage of the judging was a quantitative process to arrive at the finalists list, using Morningstar fund data over three years to the end of December 2018.

Finalists are then invited to respond to an online questionnaire that asks further questions about the fund, its performance and contributing factors. For the full methodology, click here. 

A panel of top fund selectors will soon judge each category in their area of expertise.

This year, Investment Week is pleased to partner with City to Sea, the not-for-profit organisation raising awareness of plastic pollution.
