Majedie wins twice at the Financial News European Awards for Excellence in Institutional Asset Management
Majedie Asset Management (‘Majedie’), the UK equity boutique, last night won two Awards at the 2009 Financial News European Awards for Excellence in Institutional Asset Management.
Now in their eighth year, the Awards aim to provide the definitive and authoritative industry view of the performance and strategy of the main players in the European institutional asset management industry. To decide the winners, a distinguished panel of 51 pension fund consultants, fund management executives and marketers from across Europe voted on the nominated fund management groups in each of the 20 categories.
Majedie was the winner of two categories: Boutique of the Year and UK Asset Management Firm of the Year. In the Boutique of the Year category, it was competing against Carmignac, Hexam, Neptune and River & Mercantile. In the UK Asset Management Firm of the Year category, Majedie beat a shortlist of household names, including M&G, Jupiter and Newton. The Awards ceremony was attended by more than 250 representatives of pension schemes, fund managers and investment consultants at the Banqueting House in Whitehall.
Commenting on the Award wins, James de Uphaugh, Managing Director of Majedie said:
“The Award wins are public recognition of Majedie's single minded focus on making money for our clients. We have expanded our team over the last year and look forward to the year ahead.”
