by Claire Cheape.

Lipper announces the winners of the Hong Kong Lipper Fund Awards 2017. These highly-respected awards honor funds and fund management firms that have excelled in providing consistently strong risk-adjusted performance for a certain period, relative to their peers.

MFS and BCT Group collected the top group awards for overall fund group.

The full list of 2017 Group Award winners follows below:

BCT Group Best Overall MPF Group

This year, a total of 144 awards were given out, 138 for classification awards and 8 group awards, 90 for the Hong Kong universe and 48 for Hong Kong pension funds. In particular, 37 awards were given for 3-year period, 31 for 5-year period and 22 for 10-year period.  For MPFs, 21 awards were given for 3-year period, 20 for 5-year period and 7 for 10-year period.

Xav Feng, Head of Asia Pacific Research, Lipper, commented, “2016 was a year of surprises and black swan events. According to Lipper’s calculation and research analysis, after 2 consecutive year net outflows and 2015’s net outflow of $450 billion, 2016 has seen net inflows of $164 billion for global fund markets. Bonds have the biggest net inflows of $326 billion, while equities have the highest net outflows of $200 billion. This signals that global investors have taken a relatively cautious stance in the market.”
