JF Asset Management wins top honours at fund awards

Mar 22, 2007

JF Asset Management (JFAM), the Asian arm of JPMorgan Asset Management (JPMAM), has been awarded the coveted 10-year Best Fund Management Group award at the prestigious SCMP Fund Awards 2007 in Hong Kong. 

JF Asset Management (JFAM) has received numerous awards over the past two weeks, culminating in it receiving the top honour earlier this week — Best Fund Management Group over 10 years — at the SCMP Fund Manager of the Year Awards 2007. Organised by Hong Kong's leading English language newspaper, the South China Morning Post (SCMP), in association with Standard & Poor's (S&P), the SCMP Fund Awards are considered to be one of the most prestigious awards in the Hong Kong fund management industry.

A history of recognition

This is not the first time JFAM has been honoured at an SCMP award ceremony. Over the years it has collected numerous trophies, including Best Fund Management Group over 1, 3 and 5 years. Winning the 10 year award this year is testament to JFAM's commitment and staying power.

"We strongly believe that providing superior performance and excellent service to our customers is a winning combination," said Ken Tam, head of the Hong Kong business. "What is also gratifying is the diverse range of sector trophies awarded which is a reflection not only of JFAM's fund management capabilities but also the excellence of the JPMAM teams around the globe."

Multi-award winning year

The 10-year Best Fund Management Group award is one of 25 awards received by the firm in recent weeks. Not only has the firm received awards for the superior performance of JF and JPM funds, it was also honoured for service excellence. And with close to 80 fund houses in Hong Kong (excl. banks) and over 2,000 funds authorised for sale in the territory, this is no mean feat.

Best in Service Excellence

At an award ceremony at the Shangri-la Hotel in Hong Kong, JFAM was awarded ‘Best Fund House’ in the fund management category for service excellence. This award is particularly gratifying as it was readers of the local Sing Tao Daily newspaper that voted JFAM as the best fund house amongst its peers in Hong Kong's fiercely competitive fund industry. Ken Tam added, "We are very proud to have received such recognition for our customer service by the people that matter – our investors."
