Morningstar has announced the finalists for the 2024 Morningstar Awards for Investing Excellence Luxembourg. Twelve funds are nominated for a Morningstar Category Award, and six asset managers are shortlisted for a Morningstar Asset Manager Award.
The awards recognise those funds and asset managers that have served investors well over the long term and which Morningstar’s Manager Research team believes will be able to deliver competitive risk-adjusted returns over time.
The awards are designed to recognise the industry’s fund offerings and investor-centric firms which Morningstar’s Manager Research team believes will be able to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns in the longer term. “Using the Morningstar Medalist Rating, our manager research team carefully decides the finalists across individual fund markets from amongst funds that have done particularly well over both the short and the medium term,” said Jeffrey Schumacher, director of manager research, EMEA, Morningstar, in a statement.
There are three types of Morningstar awards: the Morningstar Category Awards, the Morningstar Asset Manager Awards, and the Morningstar Asset Manager Sustainable-Investing Awards.
