Fundamental Media partners with Fund Manager of the Year Awards

Money Management is pleased to announce that the agency has come aboard the 2023 Fund Manager of the Year Awards as a media agency partner.

Fundamental Media provides media, marketing, and tech solutions to asset management and learning and development institutions, and buys fund management advertising worldwide.

Speaking to Money Management, the agency’s head of APAC, Alex Page, said the decision to partner with the Fund Manager of the Year Awards this year was driven by its commitment to recognising excellence in the Australian fund management industry.

“By collaborating with Money Management for this event, we are able to celebrate the excellent accomplishments of fund managers who have demonstrated outstanding performance, innovation, and leadership,” he said.

Recognising their achievements not only honours their contributions to the industry but sets the benchmark and inspires others in fund management to pursue quality in the sector, Page added.

“The funds management industry in Australia and globally plays a key role in shaping the global economy.

Through their expertise, performance, and innovation, fund managers are responsible for managing trillions of dollars in assets, supporting businesses and individuals, and driving economic growth,” he concluded.

Recognising fund managers on a national stage

The Fund Manager of the Year Awards program is the longest-standing independent and whole-of-market fund award.

Now in its 35th year, the annual awards provide national recognition and an authoritative endorsement of the outstanding funds and the teams responsible for their successes.

Winning an accolade distinguishes fund managers from their competitors and strengthens their position in financial services by elevating their personal outstanding performance.

Over 90 finalists were chosen to compete across 18 groups and three individual award categories.

One fund manager will be the recipient of the coveted 2023 Fund Manager of the Year award at the ceremony this year.

Individual finalists’ submissions will be delivered to a panel of respected judges that includes professional leaders and businesses as well as Lonsec.

They will assess each submission against the criteria of each award category.

The judges will score each part of the submission across the category’s criteria, giving an aggregated score. A number of judges will individually assess each submission for each category, offering a blended score and assessment.

The combined judging scores of each submission for each category are tabulated, with the highest-scoring submission deemed the winner.
