Congratulations to the winners of the Benchmark Fund of the Year Awards. It is an exceptional year to celebrate Benchmark Hong Kong 20th anniversary!  This is also the year we co-organize the award with the most disruptive Sustainability and Qualitative analytic platform, BlueOnion, a sister company of organizer, WealthAsia Media. The committee is overwhelmed with this year's submissions across the region and sincere gratitude to the 40 jurors who have diligently screened through the hard work of the fund houses and have attended 35 Gatekeeper Forum sessions.

The Top fund awards series are not open for nomination.

Benchmark's top Mutual Funds are selected based purely on quantitative data in our BlueOnion fund database. The subset awards strategies that demonstrate medium-to-long-term tangible outcomes without exposing the investors to unnecessary risks.  The performance assessment for the Top Funds in each category is calculated below:

20% – 1 Yr Annualized Return
25% – 3 Yr Annualized Return
20% – 1 Yr Sortino Ratio
25% – 3 Yr Sortino Ratio
10% – BlueOnion ESG Score

Winning Titles
The funds that are ranked in the top first Percentile (1st/100) in their respective peer groups will be awarded the Best-in-Class (BIC) title, and the funds ranked in the second and third Percentile (2nd/100 and 3rd/100) will be awarded the Outstanding Achiever (OSA) title.

Competition Details and Rules 2023

Benchmark has upped its notch on its 20th anniversary and introduced a more up-to-date judging methodology based on merits by the sustainable financial and ESG performance.  All participants are scored based on their selections of the options preset for each question in the Questionnaire. Independent reports with data provided by Morningstar for investment performance and BlueOnion for sustainability performance will be used for scoring.

The House Awards can be entered by self-nomination.  The objective of this award is to recognize active and passive managers of various asset classes and strategies for delivering sustained, consistent outperformance on a risk-adjusted basis while maintaining excellence in Benchmark's pillars. Benchmark and the buy-side community believe that investment strategies are best evaluated holistically rather than over-emphasizing past returns and risk metrics. In that light, our assessment is based on multiple facets of portfolio and risk management, and corporate strength. We see these facets as interlocking pieces forming a whole picture. Benchmark's five pillars are Investment Approach, Performance & Risk, Portfolio Management, Stewardship, and Corporate Quality.

Winning Titles
The strategy with the highest final score in its peer group wins the Best-in-Class award. Up to two Outstanding Achiever awards will be given to Strategies within a 5% margin below the Best-in-Class

In an industry managing trillions of dollars, investment managers' decisions, directly and indirectly, affect countless lives, the environment, and the overall fabric of life every day. The Sustainability Award aims to assess the fund manager's ability to manage medium- to long-term environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities. ESG is now a mainstream Category for Mutual Funds and ETF s to show off their walking their talk sustainability practices. We continue to recognize the funds driving the most sustainable impact while generating shareholders' value.

The Gatekeeper Forum is a sub-set of the judging process with three to five jurors holding a two-way conversation with the manager of a contesting strategy. The forum allows the shortlisted contestants’ CIO or Portfolio Manager to showcase how they're running a profitable strategy and respond to technical questions raised by the gatekeepers.  The Forum is a highly curated platform that connects both the buy and sell side of funds and empowers gatekeepers from Private Banks, Institutions, Foundations, and Single and Multi-Family Offices to look under the hood before they invest. Another purpose of the Gatekeeper Forum is to promote investment clarity and transparency. The interaction between senior fund house representatives and our jurors can reveal the underlying idea generation and philosophy of the contesting strategies from multiple perspectives, particularly from a qualitative and ESG perspective. Judges will be presented with independent financial and sustainability performances provided by Morningstar and BlueOnion together with narratives of the challenges provided by the shortlisted candidates. Only invited jurors can select the sessions they are interested in. The forum was held virtually last year, with managers and jurors joining from all over the world and this year the forum will be conducted in a hybrid format.
