Fort Lauderdale, FLA. — GQG Partners has won the Global Equity Fund of the Year category for its GQG Partners Global Equity Fund – A Class at the 36th annual Money Management awards, at a ceremony held last night (13 June 2024).
The Global Equity Fund of the Year award was voted on by sector managers from research house Lonsec, who selected the fund manager who demonstrated sound investment culture and good governance practices across at least one investment cycle and across a number of asset classes.
Laird Abernethy, Managing Director of GQG Partners, Australia and New Zealand, said the award is tribute to the calibre of GQG’s investment team and process.
GQG Partners also won “Website of the Year” at the Financial Standard MAX awards.
Laird Abernethy, Managing Director of GQG Partners, Australia and New Zealand, said the win reflects the experience and skill of the investment team and its performance. “This is an outstanding recognition, against strong competition, for a business that has only been operating globally for eight years. It is particularly gratifying to receive an award that is based on investment culture and good governance, as these are areas that are very important to us as a business. We are continuing to deliver good returns to our investors, and experience strong inflows, thanks to our forward-looking quality investment philosophy,” Mr Abernethy said.
