Morningstar finalists announced

This year Harbour, Nikko and Milford Asset Management are the three finalists for the Morningstar Fund Manager of the Year.

Nikko and Harbour (including its fund managed by T Rowe Price) each have three nominations. Nikko features in NZ fixed interest and NZ equities, while Harbour is a finalist in domestic and international equities.

This year Castle Point Funds Management is a finalist in NZ equities with its Ranger Fund. Partner Stephen Bennie, said, “We are delighted to have been shortlisted for this prestigious award. Castle Point set up the Ranger Fund in January 2014, with the aim of delivering an Australasian fund that was prepared to invest quite differently to the market, and crucially one that we wanted to invest our own money in alongside our clients.

"To be nominated for this award is testimony to the hard work and vision of the team, and that our long-term, focused investment approach is delivering great returns for our clients and resonating with Morningstar.”
