INVESTORS CHOICE AWARDS 2016: EUROPE
April 20th 2016
Oslo Asset Management, Kairos Investment Management and Belgravia Capital won the major awards of the night, being the Fund of the Year, UCITS Fund of the Year and the Emerging Fund of the Year, respectively. This year, a new category of Socially Responsible Fund was won by UBS Asset Management.
The awards were announced by Karen Tso, anchor of CNBC Squawk Box. Karen kept the managers on their toes with a few surprise questions she had up her sleeve. Over 300 people, including over 150 investors, attended the sold out event, which was held at the Dorchester Hotel in London.
This year's Fantasy Fund of Funds Competition was won by Bruno Schneller of Skenderbeg Alternative Investments AG. He wins a dinner for two at The Grill restaurant with wines chosen by the Head Sommelier of the Dorchester Hotel.
