Entering its next chapter, the BENCHMARK Fund of the Year Awards has evolved into an integrated platform that highlights innovation, resilience, and sustainability in asset management. It recognizes strategies that demonstrate strong investment performance, disciplined risk management, and robust ESG practices across a broad opportunity set. Under the House Awards umbrella, firms may submit Active strategies, ETF strategies, and Private Equity strategies, all assessed through the same rigorous lens. By honoring these achievements, the Awards aim to encourage better investor outcomes and foster a community that balances financial success with long‑term, sustainable impact.
