Institutional investors and fund selectors from the Nordic region gathered in Stockholm yesterday for the second annual Nordic Fund Selection Awards. The Awards was introduced in 2010 by Tell Media Group, the Swedish based research and publishing company, in an effort to highlight the importance of the fund selection profession and to create a benchmarking and feedback system for Nordic selectors.

The winners in the second annual Nordic Fund Selection Awards were announced at an event at Teaterskeppet in central Stockholm yesterday. See pictures from the event in Mingelrummet.

Awards Methodology

Tell Media Group, the Swedish research and publishing company, introduced the Nordic Fund Selection Awards in 2010. This year 25 Nordic and International fund companies participated in the rating process that has helped us find the winners. The rating process also provides valuable insights and feedback to selectors on how they are viewed by their counterparts. Fund companies rated the selection teams on five themes:

1. How important is the team (in terms potential asset flows & brand)?

2. How good (professional) do you perceive the selection process used by the team to be?

3. How good is the team at interacting with the fund manager during meetings?

4. How good is the team at communicating with you throughout the selection process (including explaining their selection)?

5. How good is the team at setting the right expectations on selected funds/managers?

Ratings were given on a scale 1-5, with 5 best. The first question (size) had a weight of 0,5 to ensure that size alone was not the determinant factor. Therefore, the total Rating could be max 22,5 and the average would be 13,5. In order to be in the running to become the winner it was required that the selection team received ratings from at least ten fund companies on each theme. A more detailed description and a breakdown of ratings for all selection teams receiving more than ten ratings on each theme will be published in the upcoming issue of the Nordic Fund Selection Journal, with readers on November 25.
