Eurizon Capital SGR was named Italy’s Best Large Bond Fund Company in 2010 among asset management companies at the 2010 Italy Morningstar Fund Awards.
The following products managed by Eurizon Capital SGR and its subsidiaries were awarded:
- Eurizon EasyFund Bond High Yield, the Luxembourg-based subfund set up by Eurizon Capital SA, was named the Best High Yield Euro Bond Fund;
- Eurizon Focus Obbligazioni Euro was a Top Selection* in the Euro Government Bond Fund Category;
- Epsilon QIncome, a fund set up and managed by Epsilon SGR, was also named a Top Selection* in the Euro Government Bond Fund Category.
The aim of the Morningstar Awards is to award the funds and asset management companies with the best risk-corrected performance in 2009 and the previous five years in each Morningstar category or group of categories.
The Morningstar Awards are annual; accordingly, the methodology used is based on performance in the previous calendar year, with previous year results adjusted to consider performance continuity in the long-term. The funds considered must have shown above-average performance for at least three of the previous five years. This is another way of ensuring that the awards go to funds with excellent results in the previous calendar year and the demonstrated ability to confirm such results over time.
* Top Selection funds are those ranked second to fifth place.
