The IPE-EDHEC Institutional Asset Management Awards
Thursday, 12 June, 2008: 19:15-20:30
Rewarding institutional asset managers for the quality of their active portfolio management, long-term allocation choices, and risk management
Investment & Pensions Europe and EDHEC have set up the Institutional Asset Management Awards (IAMAs) to distinguish asset managers on objective and transparent criteria by using state-of-the-art financial research. The IAMAs quantitatively evaluate the quality of the institutional asset management offerings in Europe taking into account not only the performance of active portfolio management (alpha), but also the relevance of the long-term allocation choices (beta) and the quality of risk management.
The rules and methodology of the awards have been validated by an international advisory committee of 12 key representatives from Europe’s institutional investment community. The committee has defined the rules for the prizes guaranteeing that the categories are representative of the main asset management offerings and correspond to institutional investors’ manager selection and allocation practices.
The IPE-EDHEC Institutional Asset Management Awards are prepared with the support of EuroPerformance.
At the inaugural award ceremony, fifteen Institutional Asset Management Awards will be presented to winning asset managers by members of the international advisory committee. |
