Pictet Asset management won for a third unprecedented year Best Fund Management Group at the Investment Week 2011 Climate Change Investment Awards held on the 10th November 2011 in London. |
 The other shortlisted companies for the best fund management group category were Vontobel Asset Management, F&C Asset Management, Henderson and Impax.
The strength and depth of our product range in the SRI space was demonstrated in our getting short-listed for four out seven awards, with three individual funds shortlisted in one single category. The Pictet-Clean Energy and Pictet-Water funds were highly commended in the Best Clean Energy Fund and Best Water, Food, Agriculture & Forestry categories.
Commenting on the awards, Deborah Benn, chair of the judging panel said: “It’s pretty clear from the quality of entries we had this year that the sector is brimming with passion and stellar ability. Investors have a growing appetite for investing responsibly and it’s good to see the climate change investment sector highlighting their commitment and determination to widen the sector’s appeal.”
The awards, hosted by Incisive Media, are judged by an external panel whose members have all been instrumental in some way of raising awareness of climate change investment issues. The external members of the panel are Mark Hoskin of Holden & Partners and Worldwise Investor, Lee Coates of Ethical Investors Group, Will Oulton of Mercer, David Donnelly of Mazars and Martin Fox of Bulletin Marketing. Financial Express provided performance data and AKG Actuaries and Consultants for analysis of financial strength.
