Morningstar is pleased to announce the Asia-Pacific finalists for the 2026 Morningstar Awards for Investing Excellence

The Morningstar Awards are designed to help investors around the world identify the year's most exceptional funds and fund managers. Awards are announced throughout the year at ceremonies across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, honoring managers that have added the most value for investors. Fund and fund group nominees are selected based on sound quantitative methodologies that emphasize outperformance over one-, three-, and five-year periods, while our regional analyst-driven Fund Manager of the Year awards recognize managers who have not only achieved impressive returns, but also been strong stewards of shareholder capital.

Please note that we do not disclose finalists for Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand or Japan.

For questions on any of these events, please email awards@morningstar.com indicating the location you are referring to.
