The KiwiSaver Fund Manager of the Year Award recognises the provider which offers the best solution for New Zealanders' retirement savings needs. The criteria for assessment include nature of offerings, fee levels, quality of regular updates, educational materials, website tools and content, transparency of disclosure, and performance.
The other new award, Emerging Fund Manager of the Year, recognises the emerging fund manager which has the opportunity and ability to build a successful long-term track record through its performance and investment management capabilities. This award will not necessarily be made every year, but recognises quality new funds management businesses which do not meet the criteria for the other awards.

The overall winner will be the New Zealand fund manager which maintained the highest level of overall funds management excellence during calendar 2008.
