Zenith Investment Partners is proud to announce the finalists for the 2019 Zenith Fund Awards.
The Awards, now in their 8th year, recognise the top talent in the funds management industry across 22 categories and rely on Zenith’s independent insights and experience in assessing investment capabilities.
Zenith’s Managing Partner David Wright believes the Awards provide an opportunity to honour and encourage excellence in the industry.
“I’d like to congratulate all of the finalists and thank them for their contribution in pushing the boundaries on what our industry can deliver to Australian investors.”
Zenith has introduced three new awards this year – the Sustainable and Responsible Investments, the Rising Star and the Industry Contribution awards. The inaugural Industry Contribution Award honours an individual who has helped shape the industry.
The winners will be announced at a lunch in Sydney on 11 October 2019.
