Despite another challenging year in 2021 due to multiple lockdowns amid escalating COVID-19 cases, supply chain issues and the rise in inflation, Hong Leong AM remains focused on companies with sustainable competitive superiority, quality management and enduring business models that will benefit from certain long-term secular trends.
“The 2022 Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards recognise award winning managers who are successfully facing down market factors not seen in decades including rising inflation, a thinning labour pool and continuing constraints on the global supply chain.
Markets are ebbing and flowing along with the sentiments and emotions of investors as the pandemic continues to cloud outlooks and change perspectives. Fund managers find themselves looking beyond earnings statements and factoring in impacts of viral waves – making active management more challenging than ever.
“We applaud the 2022 Refinitiv Lipper Fund Award winners such as Hong Leong Asset Management Bhd for delivering outperformance and the accompanying comfort of consistency to investors’ portfolios in a time of unprecedented change,” Robert Jenkins, Head of Research, Lipper, Refinitiv.
The sixteen awards received by Hong Leong AM for the period ended 31 December 2021 are:
