Hyperion Asset Management was crowned this year's Money Management/Lonsec Fund Manager of the Year – one of the very few boutiques to have ever been selected as a finalist for the prestigious title.
Hyperion's win comes after a four-year reign by Schroder Investment Management, which ended up in the finals yet again, alongside Perpetual Limited.
