Day two: AsianInvestor 2008 Investment Performance Awards

AsianInvestor magazine is pleased to announce the winners of its 2008 Investment Performance Awards. Today we name the best in global or regional equities, including Japan. Tomorrow we will cover onshore equity awards for other specific Asian markets, while Thursday we name the winners of alternative investments.

The awards will be given out at our annual black-tie dinner, this year to be held at the Conrad Hotel in Hong Kong on Thursday, May 22. We will also reveal on the night the winners of our two marquee awards, for Global Fund House of the Year and Institutional Investor of the Year.

For enquiries, please contact Rebekka Kristin, associate publisher, on +852 2122 5203, or [email protected].

Summaries for each winner will be published in the June edition of AsianInvestor magazine. Congratulations to the winners.
