Kuala Lumpur, 7 March 2024 - Hong Leong Asset Management Bhd (“Hong Leong AM”) continues its winning streak for its Islamic funds at the 2024 LSEG Lipper Fund Awards. Two of Hong Leong AM's EPF-Members Investment Scheme (“MIS”) approved Islamic funds - Hong Leong Dana Makmur and Hong Leong Dana Maa’rof, have maintained their accolades in various categories and collectively bagged 5 individual fund awards.
Hoo See Kheng, Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer of Hong Leong AM said, “It is an honour for Hong Leong AM to be validated by the LSEG Lipper Fund Awards once again. The recognition serves as a testimony and affirmation on our investment team’s investment philosophy and strategies.”
“While global recession and high inflation was anticipated in 2023, Hong Leong AM’s focus on staying invested in high quality companies; coupled with our experience and knowledge of the local stock market, has helped us endured macro challenges and enabled us to continuously drive long-term, sustainable and risk-adjusted returns for our investors. At present, even though inflation appears to be more manageable and stable, Hong Leong AM will remain vigilant and prepared for any situation that may emerge. With close monitoring, we are confident of our capability to manage any possible adverse economic spill over effects from the ongoing geopolitical developments,” added Hoo.
Tom Roseen, Principal, Lipper Global Research, LSEG Lipper said, “The 2024 LSEG Lipper Fund Awards are recognizing perhaps the most dramatic three-year period that the markets have seen in decades. Fund managers being recognized have steered their investors through a pandemic, a mild recession, a war, skyrocketing inflation and dramatic central bank intervention.
Whether you’ve been investing for just the past 15 years and have seen only the easy money environment following the Financial Crisis – or you’ve been an investor for 50 years and feel as if you’ve seen it all, there is no way to have foreseen the range of fundamental and non-financial factors that impacted the markets these past few years.
We applaud the 2024 LSEG Lipper Fund Award winners such as Hong Leong AM for delivering outperformance and the accompanying comfort of consistency to investors’ portfolios through a cross-current of global market disruptions.”
The five awards received by Hong Leong AM for the period ended 31 December 2023 are:

Hong Leong Dana Makmur

Hong Leong Dana Maa’rof
