The Financial Standard Leadership Awards, which were announced on 1 June 2023, recognise investment strategies that showcase qualities investors are looking for in an investment manager. Quay’s award was its third consecutive win in this category.
The Money Management Fund Manager of the Year Awards recognise demonstrated sound investment culture and good governance practices. Quay has had five consecutive wins in the Global Property Securities category.
The Quay Global Real Estate Fund (Unhedged) invests in a portfolio of real estate securities listed on exchanges around the world. It is relatively concentrated, with a conviction-based approach, and is currency unhedged. The strategy focuses on delivering investors real total returns, and invests through the cycle while also taking advantage of counter-cyclical opportunities.
Mr Blaess said the awards are welcome recognition of the strength of Quay’s investment process and expertise in listed real estate markets.
“We are seeing strong continued interest from investors in global listed real estate, and we believe it offers a number of attractive features in the current environment. Over time, real estate tends to outperform most equity markets,” he said.
The judging methodology for Financial Standard’s Investment Leadership Awards utilises Rainmaker information to develop a quantitative methodology that equally weights performance factors with five different risk measures. Meanwhile, Money Management’s Fund Manager of the Year consists of three main stages – a quantitative screening, a qualitative evaluation and a scoring system to evaluate the final results. It combines FE fundinfo’s quantitative fund data with the expertise of recognised research partners.
