Asset Management Awards 2022: Best funds in Asia by asset class

Apr 28, 2022

We are pleased to reveal the standout funds across asset classes for our Asset Management Awards 2022.

AsianInvestor is pleased to announce the winners of the final batch of Asset Management Awards 2022.

Today, we reveal the standout funds across asset classes. These awards are primarily based on quantitative performance data as of December 31, 2021, overlaid with additional research on areas such as the funds' strategy, longer term performance, its Asia presence and environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations.

In the wake of a rough year for fixed income, the best fixed income funds managed to beat benchmarks and in some cases scrape through with a positive yield, while equity funds enjoyed strong double-figure returns.

Our congratulations to this year's winners, and many thanks to all participants for taking the time and effort to participate in our awards this year.

In addition, we would like to thank Mercer for providing us with the comprehensive investment fund performance data that we used to assess these awards.
