FE fundinfo has named 60 nominees across 12 categories for its 2025 Alpha Manager Awards, with the winners set to be announced on 17 June.
The awards highlight long-term outperformance by active fund managers based on FE fundinfo’s Alpha Manager rating, which recognises the top 10% of managers running funds for UK-based retail investors. The shortlist reflects performance across a manager’s entire career and all funds managed.
Nominees for Alpha Manager of the Year include John Warren (Premier Miton), David J. Eiswert (T. Rowe Price), Jeroen Brand (Neuberger Berman), Jonathan Golan (Man Group) and last year's winner of the award Robin Parbrook (Schroders)
The Best New Alpha Manager category, which recognises upcoming talent by only including first-time rated managers, includes James Macdonald and Sid Chhabra (BlueBay), John H. Fogarty and Vinay Thapar (AllianceBernstein), Sashi Reddy (Stewart Investors), and Patrick Kelly (Alger).
The full list of nominees in all categories of the 2025 Alpha Manager Awards can be found below.
Charles Younes, deputy chief investment officer at FE fundinfo, said: “This year’s Alpha Manager Awards reflect a remarkable consistency in manager performance. This was despite 2024 being an extremely challenging year for active management, especially within fixed income, where no bond strategies achieved standout returns and little dispersion in equity markets.
“Even in this tough environment, our Alpha Manager nominees were consistent in delivering returns throughout the period, with many returning nominees maintaining strong risk-adjusted returns across their portfolios.
“Being shortlisted for the Alpha Manager Awards is a major achievement, which reflects a fund manager’s long-term success and outperformance of market benchmarks. We congratulate all nominees and wish them luck ahead of the award announcement later this month.”
