Held in June in Sydney, the black-tie gala event brought together the industry’s top performers and stand-out fund managers. Attendees celebrated with the who’s who of the Australian financial services industry.
Individuals were encouraged to nominate a colleague or submit themselves into the category they were eligible for, while group finalists were chosen through meticulous judging criteria by our research partner Lonsec.
Lonsec Research & Ratings was positioned at the nexus of Australia’s financial advice and investment industry, enabling them to provide practical, actionable insights that added real value to our investment and advice solutions. Lonsec Research & Ratings connected financial advisers, fund managers and super funds with the tools, data and insights to make better investment decisions, grow their funds, engage better with members, and meet their best interest obligations. Comprising Lonsec Research, SuperRatings and iRate, Lonsec Research & Ratings rated over 2000 investment funds and equities and 500-plus superannuation products and was one of Australia’s fastest-growing managed accounts providers.
The individual awards were open to all eligible professionals and fund managers operating in Australia supporting the industry, and they were encouraged to participate for their chance to be recognised as an award winner. Finalists were shortlisted through a meticulous judging process, and winners were revealed on the night through further judging metrics.
Group award finalists were selected directly by our research partner Lonsec Research & Ratings.
