QUESTIONS: Is Baring beatable? Can competitors catch Credit Lyonnais? And will equities in Hongkong hog the limelight again? The answers will be provided at the second Sunday Morning Post Hongkong Fund Manager of the Year Awards, where the Financial Secretary, Hamish Macleod, will again be guest of honour.
The awards are being run in association with luxury goods firm Alfred Dunhill with sponsorship from wines and spirits merchants Remy.
Last year, Baring and Credit Lyonnais swept the board. Baring International was the best large fund management firm over three years, with Kleinwort Benson the best over one year.
Meanwhile, Credit Lyonnais won both the one-and three-year categories for the best small fund groups.
The top performing fund in the world over one year was Hongkong-based and invested: Barclays ASF (Hongkong) took the prize.
Other top performers were Barclays ASF Southeast Asia and Thornton Philippines Redevelopment, both managed out of Hongkong.
