Eligibility
Although this program assesses investment strategies rather than funds, we ask for factsheets and other information related to the oldest share class of a flagship fund so that all candidates can be measured by the same metrics. The flagship strategy must:
- have a minimum 3 years track record
- have an ISIN code
- must provide a prospectus or fact sheet
The flagship strategy submitted does not have to be an authorized fund in the jurisdiction of competition. It can be a UCITS, SICAV, etc…
Judging
In consultation with our panel of 70-80 buy-side jurors, consisting of mainly private and premier banking gatekeepers/fund selectors, family offices, and institutional investors, plus a handful of independent consultants and researchers – we’ve designed a scoring system with a questionnaire containing multiple options and binary answers. There are 3 levels of scores, the final score is a weighted combination of Levels I, II, and III:
Level I Score: Fund Questionnaire
Level II: Score: Juror Assessment
Level III Score: The Gatekeeper’s Forum
Overall Score = 10% (Level I) + 80% (Level II)+ 10% (Level III)
Level I Score: All participants are scored based on their selections of the options preset for each question in the Fund Questionnaire. The scores also pre-defined for each option in each question along the five key pillars.
Level II Score: Jurors who have signed up/assigned to a particular peer group will score based on their experience with the fund house and team, and the overall Level I scores presented to them. Scoring at this level could be relatively subjective, as each juror has his/her selection priorities, often guided by their underlying needs. For example, a private banking gatekeeper would have a different priority on criteria selection versus a single-family office.
Level III Score: All participants are invited to join The Gatekeeper’s Forum to present their strategies to the jurors. This is a highly curated forum where only the PM, CIO, or Product Specialists are invited to meet the Senior Gatekeepers in person. During the 30 minute session, a panel of 6-8 jurors will ask in-depth questions along the five key pillars for further understanding of the team practices. Jurors will score based on their satisfaction with the information received during the session.
Other Rules
Other Rules
Submitting Materials for Multiple Countries – If you are entering the same category for more than one country, you may use the same information, documents, and flagship fund across all the countries. For example, you’ve entered your global fixed income strategy for Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan. You may use the same information for all three countries.
Submitting Materials for Multiple Strategies – Separate groups of jurors will evaluate different product types, so please make sure there is one submission per strategy. DO NOT send one submission to represent different strategies. Please submit separate entries for each strategy, with the exception of Pillar 5-Corporate Strength.
Merging Categories To ensure the quality of the awards, categories with less than three funds participating may be merged to a larger category of the same kind without prior notice

參賽資格
此獎項是評估基金公司在該類別的投資策略而非旗艦基金本身,我們需要參賽者提供基金概覽和其他與旗艦基金相關的資料。旗艦基金必須符合以下標準:
- 報名的基金/策略至少應有操作3年的實績
- 旗艦基金不限於當地核備之基金
- 必須擁有ISIN code
- 提供基金公開說明書或基金月報
評選方法
評選方法
《指標》和買方群相信要對投資策略進行全面評估,而不是過於著重過去的回報和風險指標。因此,我們的評估是基於多方面的考量:投資組合和風險管理以及企業實力。我們視這些方面為相互關聯的部分,從而構成評價的整體。《指標》的五大評核準則,為每個投資策略進行以下評估:
- 投資方法
- 投資組合管理
- 績效和風險管理
- 盡職管理
- 企業實力
研究方法
我們諮詢了由70-80名由買方投資者所組成的專業評審小組,其中包括私人及零售銀行負責基金產品上架的把關人、家族辦公室的資產所有者、獨立顧問、專業研究人員和教授。為我們設計出了一套問卷評分系統,該問卷包含多選和實例說明。最終得分是三個階段的整體得分加權得出。
- 第一階段: 基金策略問卷
- 第二階段: 評審評估
- 第三階段: 把關人論壇(The Gatekeeper’s Forum)
最終得分: 第一階段佔10% + 第二階段佔80%+ 第三階段佔10%
第一階段評分
所有參賽者將根據他們提供的問卷答案被進行評分。該分數是客觀的,五大評核準則中的每個答案都對應相應分數。
第二階段評分
各類別由專業的評審小組根據他們的經驗為基金公司和團隊進行評分,並向他們提供第一階段完整的評分。這個階段的評分可能相對主觀,因為每個評審委員都有他/她認為更重要的優先事項,通常以他們的潛在需求為指導。例如,私人銀行把關人在標準選擇上的優先級與單一家族辦公室不同。
第三階段評分
邀請所有參與者加入把關人論壇,向評審委員展示他們的策略。這是一個精心策劃的論壇,只邀請 PM、CIO 或產品專家親自會見高級把關人。在 30 分鐘的會議中,由 6-8 名評審組成的小組將圍繞五個關鍵支柱提出深入問題,以進一步了解團隊實踐。陪審員將根據他們對會議期間收到的信息的滿意度進行評分。
其他規則
其他規則
為多個國家/地區提交材料

每隻基金可角逐多個獎項類別。不同的獎項類別有不同的專業評審團評核,因此請為每個獎項類別分別提交問卷。
合併類別

Eligibility
To enter, the flagship fund best exemplifies your capability, must:
- have a minimum 1-year track record
- provide an oldest share class flagship fund as best exemplifies
- have an ISIN code
- provide prospectus or fact sheet
The flagship strategy submitted does not have to be an authorized fund in the jurisdiction of competition. It can be a UCITS, SICAV, etc…
Judging
Specific questions will be asked in each respective category, and upon completion of the questionnaire, the submission will be subject to three scoring levels. The final score is a weighted combination of Levels I, II, and III:
Level I Score: Sustainability Questionnaire
Level II: Score: Juror Assessment
Level III Score: The Gatekeeper’s Forum
Overall Score = 10% (Level I) + 80% (Level II)+ 10% (Level III)
Level I Score: All participants are scored based on their selections of the options preset for each question in the Fund Questionnaire. The scores also pre-defined for each option in each question along the five key pillars.
Level II Score: Jurors who have signed up/assigned to a particular peer group will score based on their experience with the fund house and team, and the overall Level I scores presented to them. Scoring at this level could be relatively subjective, as each juror has his/her selection priorities, often guided by their underlying needs. For example, a private banking gatekeeper would have a different priority on criteria selection versus a single-family office.
Level III Score: All participants are invited to join The Gatekeeper’s Forum to present their strategies to the jurors. This is a highly curated forum where only the PM, CIO, or Product Specialists are invited to meet the Senior Gatekeepers in person. During the 30 minute session, a panel of 6-8 jurors will ask in-depth questions along the five key pillars for further understanding of the team practices. Jurors will score based on their satisfaction with the information received during the session.
Other Rules
Other Rules
Submitting Materials for Multiple Countries – If you are entering the same category for more than one country, you may use the same information, documents, and flagship fund across all the countries. For example, you’ve entered your global fixed income strategy for Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan. You may use the same information for all three countries.
Submitting Materials for Multiple Strategies – Separate groups of jurors will evaluate different product types, so please make sure there is one submission per strategy. DO NOT send one submission to represent different strategies. Please submit separate entries for each strategy, with the exception of Pillar 5-Corporate Strength.
Merging Categories
To ensure the quality of the awards, categories with less than three funds participating may be merged to a larger category of the same kind without prior notice

參賽資格
以最能體現其能力的旗艦基金參賽,必須:
- 至少有 1 年的績效記錄
- 提供成立最久的股票類旗艦基金作為例證
- 提供一個ISIN號碼
- 提供說明書和月報
提交的旗艦策略不必是參賽當地管轄範圍內的認可基金。 它可以是 UCITS、SICAV 等…
評選方法
將在每個類別中被問及具體的問題,在問卷完成後,評分將分為三個評分階段。最後的分數是三個階段的評分加權得出:
第一階段評分:永續性問卷
第二階段評分:評審評估
第三階段評分:把關人論壇
總分 = 10% (第一階段) + 80% (第二階段)+ 10% (第三階段)
第一階段評分:根據所有參與者他們在基金問卷中為每個問題選擇的選項進行評分。分數還針對五個關鍵支柱中每個問題中的每個選項進行了預定義。
第二階段評分:各類別由專業的評審小組根據他們的經驗為基金公司和團隊進行評分,並向他們提供第一階段完整的評分。這個階段的評分可能相對主觀,因為每個評審委員都有他/她認為更重要的優先事項,通常以他們的潛在需求為指導。例如,私人銀行把關人在標準選擇上的優先級與單一家族辦公室不同。
第三階段評分:邀請所有參與者加入把關人論壇,向評審委員展示他們的策略。這是一個精心策劃的論壇,只邀請 PM、CIO 或產品專家親自會見高級把關人。在 30 分鐘的會議中,由 6-8 名評審組成的小組將圍繞五個關鍵支柱提出深入問題,以進一步了解團隊實踐。陪審員將根據他們對會議期間收到的信息的滿意度進行評分。
其他規則
為多個國家/地區提交材料
如果您為多個國家/地區提交同一類別申請,您可以在所有國家/地區使用相同的信息、文件和旗艦基金。例如,您提交了香港、新加坡和台灣的全球固定收益策略。您可以對所有三個國家/地區使用相同的信息,為多種策略提交材料。
不同的評審小組將評估不同的產品類型,因此請確保每個策略提交一份。例如,同一策略同時參加兩個不同的類別,請分別為每個類別單獨提交資料,但支柱能力5 – 企業實力除外。
合併類別
為確保獎頊質素,我們可能將個別類別合併為更大的同類別一組,使同一類別有不少於三隻基金參與。恕不另行通知。

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 who have demonstrated medium-to-long-term tangible outcomes without subjecting the investors to unnecessary risks. This year, we have incorporated ESG as a consideration factor in selecting our Top funds. See below Methodology.
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.

Judging
There are 2 levels of scoring, and the final score is a weighted combination of Levels I and II:
Level I Score: ETF Questionnaire
Level II Score: Juror Assessment
Overall Score: 15% (Level I) + 85% (Level II)
Level I Score: All participants are scored based on their selections of the options preset for each question in the ETF Questionnaire. The scores also pre-defined for each option in each question along the five key pillars.
Level II Score: Jurors who have signed up/assigned to a particular peer group will score based on their experience with the fund house and team and the overall Level I scores presented to them. Scoring at this level could be relatively subjective, as each juror has its selection priorities, often guided by its underlying needs. For example, a private banking gatekeeper would have a different priority on criteria selection versus a single-family office.
Other rules
Submitting Materials for Multiple Strategies – Separate groups of jurors will evaluate different product types, so please ensure one submission per strategy. Please submit separate entries for each strategy, except for Pillar 5-Corporate Strength. DO NOT send one submission to represent different strategies.
Merging Categories – To ensure the quality of the awards, categories with less than three funds participating may be merged to a larger category of the same kind without prior notice.
Eligibility
Although this program assesses investment strategies rather than funds, we ask for factsheets and other information related to the flagship ETF. The flagship ETF must meet the following criteria:
- Must have a minimum 1-year track record
- Must have an ISIN for the flagship ETF
- Must provide a prospectus or fact sheet
The Capability Awards recognize ETF service providers who have demonstrated excellence in problem-solving, bringing unique value propositions to investors.
Winner Selection
The firm with the highest score in the respective category will win the Best-in-Class award. Up to two Outstanding Achiever awards will be given to providers within a 5% margin below the Best-in-Class.

Judging
Juror Assessment
This score is given by the jurors. It is subjective because it depends on each juror’s interpretation of the information you provided and the jurors’ priorities, which often depend on the family office, bank, or investment advisor they serve
Eligibility
All ETF service providers who have the outstanding capability or significant improvement in various attributes can apply for these awards.
Our theme equity categories are focused on ETFs bringing a positive impact on the world while making respectable risk-adjusted returns. Judges will look for your competitive proposition in the impact investment space, the substantial impact, both negative and positive, and/or the progress towards achieving those goals, the scale of the investments vs. the impact terms created, and how the impact contributes to society/economy-wide solution.
Participants will go through the same process as the House Awards participants with additional questions on Sustainability practices.
Regrettably, there are no winners in this category

評選方法
我們諮詢了由買方投資者所組成的專業評審小組,從而我們設計出了問卷和評分系統。評選涉及兩個階段,最終得分是第一階段和第二階段的整體得分相加得出。
下面是兩個階段的評分標準:
第一階段: 基金問卷
第二階段: 評審評估
最終得分: 第一階段佔15% + 第二階段佔85%
第一階段評分:
所有參賽者將根據他們提供的問卷答案被進行評分。 該分數是客觀的,因為每個答案都對應相應分數。此階段在於確定得分的基礎。
第二階段評分:
評審會給特定參賽類別小組作出評分。第二階段分數相對主觀,因為它來自於評審的個人評估。每個評審都有不同的想法來理解基金提供的信息,每個評審委員都有自身不同的優先項,通常由銀行把關人、家庭辦公室或投資者的需求為標準。有些評審將通過指標提供的資料與他們自己收集的資料結合起來。

The House Awards recognize 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
Although this program assesses investment strategies rather than funds, we ask for factsheets and other information related to the oldest share class of a flagship fund so that all candidates can be measured by the same metrics. The flagship strategy must:
- have a minimum 3 years track record
- have an ISIN code
- must provide a prospectus or fact sheet
The flagship strategy submitted does not have to be an authorized fund in the jurisdiction of competition. It can be a UCITS, SICAV, etc…
In consultation with our panel of 70-80 buy-side jurors, consisting of mainly private and premier banking gatekeepers/fund selectors, family offices, and institutional investors, plus a handful of independent consultants and researchers – we’ve designed a scoring system with a questionnaire containing multiple options and binary answers. There are 3 levels of scores, the final score is a weighted combination of Levels I, II, and III:
Level I Score: Fund Questionnaire
Level II: Score: Juror Assessment
Level III Score: The Gatekeeper’s Forum
Overall Score = 60% (Level I) + 30% (Level II)+ 10% (Level III)
Level I Score: All participants are scored based on their selections of the options preset for each question in the Fund Questionnaire. The scores also pre-defined for each option in each question along the five key pillars.
Level II Score: Jurors who have signed up/assigned to a particular peer group will score based on their experience with the fund house and team, and the overall Level I scores presented to them. Scoring at this level could be relatively subjective, as each juror has his/her selection priorities, often guided by their underlying needs. For example, a private banking gatekeeper would have a different priority on criteria selection versus a single-family office.
Level III Score: All participants are invited to join The Gatekeeper’s Forum to present their strategies to the jurors. This is a highly curated forum where only the PM, CIO, or Product Specialists are invited to meet the Senior Gatekeepers in person. During the 30 minute session, a panel of 6-8 jurors will ask in-depth questions along the five key pillars for further understanding of the team practices. Jurors will score based on their satisfaction with the information received during the session.
Other Rules
Submitting Materials for Multiple Countries – If you are entering the same category for more than one country, you may use the same information, documents, and flagship fund across all the countries. For example, you’ve entered your global fixed income strategy for Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan. You may use the same information for all three countries.
Submitting Materials for Multiple Strategies – Separate groups of jurors will evaluate different product types, so please make sure there is one submission per strategy. DO NOT send one submission to represent different strategies. Please submit separate entries for each strategy, with the exception of Pillar 5-Corporate Strength.

The firm with the highest score in the respective category will win the Best-in-Class award. Up to two Outstanding Achiever awards will be given to providers within a 5% margin below the Best-in-Class.
All ETF service providers who have the outstanding capability or significant improvement in various attributes can apply for these awards.
Juror Assessment
This score is given by the jurors. It is subjective because it depends on each juror’s interpretation of the information you provided and the jurors’ priorities, which often depend on the family office, bank, or investment advisor they serve
The Most Innovative ETF Award recognizes a provider that demonstrates excellence in problem-solving and brings unique value propositions to investors. These propositions could include risk mitigation, income generation, diversification, exposure to inaccessible markets and securities, or other challenges.
This award will be given to a provider who can demonstrate successful execution of strategies that may include the use of covered calls, shorting, duration reduction, applying different screens, a combination of indices, etc.
This award is given to providers with Smart Beta ETFs that seek to exploit to beat the benchmark over the long term. Judges for this category will be seeking qualities including:
- the index’s selection of the securities and the weighting of the selected securities in the index
- how the Smart Beta ETFs achieve excess returns and counter market fluctuations
- the provider’s consideration of the underlying value of the companies, market caps of these companies, quality, momentum derived from risking stocks, and volatility derived from the macro environment and various cyclical outcomes.
In 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 purpose of the Sustainability Award is to assess fund managers’ 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. The thematic impact categories offer fund houses and ETF providers focused on driving environmental, social, or governance material impact to show off their capabilities and distinguish them from those who are green/blue/SDG washing. Of course, ESG is often a critical criterion across all our conventional awards, whether for active or passive managers. This year, the inclusion is even more profound.
We continue to recognize the Top Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Global Compact (GC) Performing Funds, plus recognition of those integrating the most Paris-Agreement temperature aligned funds – the inclusion Award. From this year onward, Benchmark will also recognize the funds that have made the most significant improvements on ESG, GC, and temperature scores based on a Year-on-Year basis.
To enter, the flagship fund best exemplifies your capability, must:
- have a minimum 1-year track record
- provide an oldest share class flagship fund as best exemplifies
- have an ISIN code
- provide prospectus or fact sheet
The flagship strategy submitted does not have to be an authorized fund in the jurisdiction of competition. It can be a UCITS, SICAV, etc…
Specific questions will be asked in each respective category, and upon completion of the questionnaire, the submission will be subject to three scoring levels. The final score is a weighted combination of Levels I, II, and III:
Level I Score: Sustainability Questionnaire
Level II: Score: Juror Assessment
Level III Score: The Gatekeeper’s Forum
Overall Score = 60% (Level I) + 30% (Level II)+ 10% (Level III)
Level I Score: All participants are scored based on their selections of the options preset for each question in the Fund Questionnaire. The scores also pre-defined for each option in each question along the five key pillars.
Level II Score: Jurors who have signed up/assigned to a particular peer group will score based on their experience with the fund house and team, and the overall Level I scores presented to them. Scoring at this level could be relatively subjective, as each juror has his/her selection priorities, often guided by their underlying needs. For example, a private banking gatekeeper would have a different priority on criteria selection versus a single-family office.
Level III Score: All participants are invited to join The Gatekeeper’s Forum to present their strategies to the jurors. This is a highly curated forum where only the PM, CIO, or Product Specialists are invited to meet the Senior Gatekeepers in person. During the 30 minute session, a panel of 6-8 jurors will ask in-depth questions along the five key pillars for further understanding of the team practices. Jurors will score based on their satisfaction with the information received during the session.
Other Rules
Submitting Materials for Multiple Countries – If you are entering the same category for more than one country, you may use the same information, documents, and flagship fund across all the countries. For example, you’ve entered your global fixed income strategy for Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan. You may use the same information for all three countries.
Submitting Materials for Multiple Strategies – Separate groups of jurors will evaluate different product types, so please make sure there is one submission per strategy. DO NOT send one submission to represent different strategies. Please submit separate entries for each strategy, with the exception of Pillar 5-Corporate Strength.

The Gatekeeper Forum
The Gatekeeper Forum is a sub-set of the judging process with four to six jurors holding a two-way conversation with the manager of a contesting strategy. The forum allows the 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, Single and Multi-Family Offices to look under the hood before they invest. Another purpose of The Gatekeepers' 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. Participants who are present at the forum receive Level III scoring points. Each juror has up to 10 points to allocate to each participant. Only invited jurors can select the sessions they are interested in. The forum was held virtually last year, with managers and jurors joining all over the world.









The Benchmark Sustainable Wealth Forum is a knowledge exchange where industry leaders and winners of the Benchmark awards are featured. The Forum covers the financial eco-system and discovers the inside out of the providers’ practices that lead to a more sustainable industry through responsible and ethical investing in protecting the investors across multiple generations. The inaugural series covers the Winners at the Benchmark Wealth Management Awards and the Benchmark Fund of the Year Awards 2020. The topics covered in the Asset Management Series include Investment Propositions, Sustainability, and ESG approaches, Investor Protection, and Global Opportunities and Risks.
Between March and May of this year, we have helped seven winning companies gain over 200,000 impressions per interview on LinkedIn and Facebook with an average engagement rate of 3.16% compared to the market average of 2%.
