We’re feeling like proud relatives over at Flint today, as we excitedly spot some of our fund managers in the running for this years Research IP Fund Manager of the Year awards.

These awards have been running since 2015, and recognise fund managers in the Australasian region.

Research IP, a founding partner of Flint, comments that “the use of managed funds has continued to grow in New Zealand despite the difficult backdrop of the transition from Quantitative Easing to Quantitative Tightening (QE to QT), higher inflation and escalating interest rates. The awards will play a role by identifying the top-performing money managers”.
