Morningstar Awards

Asset manager Robeco on Wednesday won the award for best asset manager in Morningstar’s Luxembourg Awards for Investing Excellence in 2023. The firm also won the new award as best asset manager in sustainable investing.

Dutch-based Robeco, with assets under management of approximately 200 billion euro, since 2016 is fully owned by Japanese financial services conglomerate Orix. With its awards Robeco beat competition Vanguard, J O Hambro, BNP Paribas and Candriam.

Funds managed by M&G, Schroders, Candriam and Cartesio on Wednesday emerged as four respective category winners in the Morningstar Awards for Investing Excellence 2023 in Luxembourg.

Investment research firm Morningstar is set to announce the winners of the 2023 Morningstar Awards for Excellence in Investing in Luxembourg. 

A total of 12 funds were nominated in the categories global equity fund, best Europe equity fund, best Euro bond fund and best Euro allocation fund. Morningstar also has selected six nominees for its Best Asset Manager and its Best Asset Manager Sustainable Finance awards.

The winners will be announced at a Luxembourg ceremony on Wednesday evening at 20:30 local time.

Capital Group and Impax are the asset management firms that won the 2022 Morningstar Awards for Excellence in Investing in Luxembourg, the investment research firm has announced. Funds managed by Fundsmith, Comgest, BlueBay and Capital Group have won individual Morningstar awards. 

iShares has won the 2021 Morningstar Luxembourg Award for Best Fund House Overall. It’s the first time a passive asset manager wins the overall award.

According to Morningstar analyst Ronald van Genderen, the award means iShares has simply produced the best risk-adjusted returns after fees across the equity and fixed-income range in recent years.

Capital Group, T.Rowe Price and iShares have been nominated as finalists for the Morningstar Awards for best asset manager across all asset classes in Luxembourg.

The nomination for iShares is a first: never before a passive fund house received a nomination for the Morningstar Award for best asset manager. iShares was also nominated for best fund house in the category fixed-income overall, in an apparent rebuke of active management. This shortlist is also all-American, with BlueBay and Capital Group being the other nominees.

T. Rowe Price has won the Morningstar Luxembourg Fund Award for best fund house, the data provider announced on Thursday during a ceremony at the Centre Culturel ‘Schéiss’ in Luxembourg. T. Rowe Price also won the award for best fixed income fund house. Neuberger Berman, another US asset manager, received the honours for best equity fund house.
