Six fund managers are in the running for this year's IPAC Fund Manager of the Year Awards, including last year's winner AMP Henderson (formerly AMP Asset Management). The other four finalists to make the cut off are Armstrong Jones, BNZ, BT Funds Management, Guardian Trust Funds Management and previous winner Tower Asset Management.

The second highest number of sector nominations goes to AMP Henderson, which has three of its own funds, plus the National Bank NZ Equity Growth trust which it manages.
BT Funds Management has three nominations, while Tower Managed Funds and Armstrong Jones, have two each.
AXA New Zealand and New Zealand Guardian Trust have one nomination each.
