Officially honored during this year’s Envestnet Advisor Summit in Austin, Texas, the ten winners, selected from our platform of thousands of strategies, represent a range of categories: large-cap, small-to-medium cap, international/global universe, fixed income, impact, strategist, and alternatives – a new category this year, related to rising market volatility.
To qualify for the awards, a manager must have $200 million in assets, be broadly available on the Envestnet platform, be open to new investors, and the lead manager must have at least a three-year tenure with the firm. In addition, we apply several other qualitative and quantitative metrics, including market upside and downside capture, to determine the best-in-breed performers from hundreds of candidates across the categories.
This year’s winners were ultimately selected by Chief Investment Strategist Tim Clift and Managing Director Erik Preus, CFA from Envestnet and Investment Advisor’s Editor-in-Chief Janet Levaux and Executive Managing Editor Ginger Szala.
