Fund Manager of the Year - Fisher Funds Management

Last night Fisher Funds was crowned the Good Returns Fund Manager of the Year over the NZX-owned Smartshares and AMP Capital.

Fisher has one of the largest investment management teams in New Zealand, while Smartshares runs a suite of index tracking funds.

The active versus passive tussle played out in other categories, most noticeably New Zealand shares where Smartshares took out the top awards over AMP Capital and Russell Investments.

The awards are powered by Research IP and are based on one-year returns and a number of other factors to ensure the winners and funds shortlisted in each category are not “one hit wonders”.

"Research IP is cognisant that investors may choose a fund because it is award winning and Good Returns wants to acknowledge outstanding performance in the last 12 months, but through Research IP’s rigorous process, we can ensure the best managers are awarded each year," Research IP managing director Darren Howlin says.

This year's awards featured a new Adviser Choice category. More than 600 votes were cast this year. Advisers choose Milford Asset Management in the fixed interest category; Mint Asset Management in property and infrastructure; and Fisher Funds for equities.
