Ten managers made it onto the list for the first time, including including equity income expert Francis Brooke of Troy Asset Management, Nick Train, a quality growth manager from Lindsell Train and Fidelity value and small cap investor Alex Wright.
Southworth added: “Over half of the members of the FE Alpha Manager Hall of Fame have maintained their place for the past three years.
“Given the unpredictable market conditions we have been facing in recent years, it is also particularly encouraging to see so many managers enter the FE Hall of Fame for the first time.”
In total, 193 fund managers were given an FE Alpha Manager Rating in 2017, with Schroders and Fidelity International topping the board at group level.
The alpha ratings judge a fund manager’s risk-adjusted alpha, consistency of outperformance against the benchmark and outperformance in both up and down markets since 2000 when deciding if they deserve the Alpha manager rating.
