Fund Awards 2010
Investment markets have been exceptionally volatile over the past three years. Some investment managers have succeeded in navigating their way across these uncharted waters better than others. Money Observer's 2010 fund awards are designed to reward these managers for doing the best possible job for investors over that difficult period.
The awards are based on an exclusive set of criteria developed in association with Lipper, the fund performance measurement organisation owned by Thomson Reuters. Our aim is to recognise those funds and groups that have produced the most consistent performance without taking undue risks.
This year an additional award has also been added to our trophy cabinet to recognise the fund that has achieved the best performance at the comparatively lowest cost. The winner has been chosen from the ranks of the winning and highly commended funds for the other awards.
Investment funds were initially set up for the benefit of smaller investors who wanted to spread the risk of holding shares, but in recent years bond funds have started playing an increasingly important role. Therefore this year two new group awards have also been added to recognise the best performers in each of those asset classes: a best equity management group and a best bond management group.
