Korea Awards 2011: AsianInvestor names the best in Korea
AsianInvestor is delighted to announce the winners of our first Korea Awards for investment performance and for the domestic buy-side’s service providers.
The awards will be celebrated at a dinner at the Lotte Hotel in Seoul on March 16. For inquiries, please contact Dr. Lee Insup at [email protected].
A full write-up explaining our decisions for each winner along with photographs from the dinner will be published in AsianInvestor magazine’s April edition.
We were extremely pleased with the high level of competition for these awards, which were based on written pitches and an extensive round of interviews.
Note that ‘international’ awards refer to locally domiciled strategies, and that fund house total AUM refers to onshore assets (with regard to global firms).
Congratulations to the winners.
