As SQM Research is a believer in performance over time taking into account the risks, data was initially collated and sorted on an equal weighting combination of three-year annualised net returns and three-year sharpe ratios (risk adjusted returns). A final ten list of ten funds for each category (global equities, domestic fixed income etc) was then derived. Data was collated through to 30 June 2023.</p> <p> </p> <p>Finalists were then chosen from the top ten in each category based on the best Sharpe ratio. Where performance was close between two or more funds, the total return was considered as well as any relative rating with SQM Research.</p> <p> </p> <p>Where risk adjusted returns are not easily available, such as some alternative funds, direct property/ETFs, SQM Research has used its current ratings as a guide plus three year total returns where available.</p> <p> </p> <p>The emerging funds category was based on annualised returns plus the Sharpe ratio for a combination of one year and since inception data. Emerging funds were defined as funds with a greater than one year track record but less than three years track record.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Fund Manager of the Year</strong></p> <p>Finalist for the Fund manager of the year was based on the frequency of products that made the initial top ten list of each category.</p> <p>The overall winner was based on a scoring of how many winners/commended categories plus finalist positions the fund manager held via its funds.</p> <p>International/Global Equity, Infrastructure and Real estate categories for 2023 include both hedged and unhedged funds and adjust for the difference between the unhedged and hedged benchmark. Where a manager has both hedged and unhedged funds, we will take the average of the two (one adjusted by the benchmark differences) for comparison purposes and only Include the Manager’s fund once.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div id="sponsors" data-column-margin="60px" data-midnight="dark" class="wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row vc_row-o-equal-height vc_row-flex "
