Piguet Fund - Pondéré CHF awarded "Best Fund" in its category at the Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards 2021
Reflecting the Bank's investment strategy, the asset allocation fund "Piguet Fund Pondéré CHF A" was rewarded for its excellent performance and won the prize for best fund over 5 years in the "Mixed Asset CHF Flexible" category at the "Refinitiv Lipper Awards Switzerland 2021".
This award testifies to the relevance of the Bank's investment strategy over the last few years, and particularly during 2020, a year in which the financial markets were severely shaken by the outbreak of the health crisis. Daniel Varela, Investment Director at Piguet Galland, welcomed the award with great satisfaction:
"We are honoured by this recognition, which bears witness to the excellent analysis and management work carried out by the investment team over the years. This remarkable performance is the reflection of an active management style geared to the long term, imbued with conviction and based on a fundamental analysis of the economic cycle, financial markets and companies.
Created in 2009, the Swiss-registered Piguet Fund - Pondéré (CHF) A invests in bonds and equities worldwide, as well as in alternative investments, commodities and real estate funds, in line with the Bank's investment strategy for accounts with a medium risk profile. For the year 2020, it posted a performance of +8.31% in CHF after an increase of 11.5% in 2019. It is managed by Claudia Dorsaz, CFA, a senior manager with Piguet Galland since 2007.
Robert Jenkins, Head of Research at Lipper, Refinitiv, commented:
"This year's Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards recognised the steely determination of the award-winning managers, who managed to weather one of the sharpest market corrections and recoveries on record, enabling investors to remain confident despite the uncertain economic climate.
In a year that has seen the effects of an unprecedented global humanitarian crisis, in which markets have reflected the shock of investors' emotions and optimism, it has been particularly reassuring to entrust one's financial assets to the supervision of professional fund managers.
We congratulate the winners of the 2021 Refinitiv Lipper Fund Award and wish Piguet Galland continued success.
