Industry recognition for our global capabilities

Our investment capabilities are global, and cover a broad range of markets, asset classes and strategies – and this week they gained industry recognition in three different countries.

In the UK, we picked up the prize for Asset Management Innovation of the Year at the 2019 Financial News Asset Management Awards. Investing in leading-edge capabilities helps us attract clients and customers, enhance relationships and develop smarter ways of working. This award recognises our development of a strategy that allows insurers to invest in loans to private equity funds, alongside banks, in the early years of their life cycle.

In China, we were named Outstanding Wholly Owned Foreign Enterprise at the inaugural China International Hedge Funds Annual Conference. The award was jointly organised by Shenzhen’s Private Funds Association and a China onshore private funds online services platform. It reflects the success of our China A-share onshore private fund.

And for the first time, the Australian Equity team’s large cap strategy was shortlisted for a leading industry award – the Golden Bull Award. The team is led by Michelle Lopez, who was appointed Head of Australian Equities in June.
