Celebrating excellence in fund management

Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel, London |18th June 2026


A flagship event for the investment industry for over three decades, the Investment Week Fund Manager of the Year Awards honour fund managers and groups at the top of their game. They have demonstrated consistently strong performance for investors and the judging panel believe they have the potential to continue to outperform in the future.

Our awards shortlists are constructed using data provided by our partner Morningstar. The award winners are then decided by a panel of over 100 fund selectors drawn from across the investment industry, who judge categories in their specialist areas of interest.

We are also pleased to have the support of our long-standing advisory panel of senior fund selectors. The winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony on the 18th June. We look forward to seeing you there!
