About the Financial Newswire & SQM Research awards
Methodology
For the 2026 Fund Manager of the Year Awards with Financial Newswire, SQM Research has once again collated performance data on well over 10,000 active funds. As SQM Research is a believer in performance over time taking into account the risks, data was initially collated and sorted on an equal weighting combination of three-year annualised net returns and three-year sharpe ratios (risk adjusted returns). A final ten list of ten funds for each category (global equities, domestic fixed income etc) was then derived. Data was collated through to 31 May 2026.
Finalists were then chosen from the top ten in each category based on the best Sharpe ratio. Downside capture was also taken into account. Where performance was close between two or more funds, the total return was considered as well as any relative rating with SQM Research.
Where risk adjusted returns are not easily available, such as some alternative funds, direct property/ETFs, SQM Research has used its current ratings as a guide plus three year total returns where available.
The emerging funds category was based on annualised returns plus the Sharpe ratio for a combination of one year and since inception data. Emerging funds were defined as funds with a greater than one year track record but less than three years track record.
