We received a record amount of entries. It seems the number of entry forms only grows as each year the business environment gets tougher. Entrants demonstrated that despite the continued hard times faced by the funds industry, they can 12 produce business excellence whatever the weather. 20 Funds Europe hosted 150 people at the Tower of London and there were a total of 18 awards, plus one Special Award. The latter went to Mark Tennant of JP Morgan. Attendees of Fund Forum International will have seen Mark interviewing various industry luminaries, though his influence and engagement go beyond that conference. Mark’s thought- leadership role in the asset management industry is recognised by his peers in their awarding him with this honour. Coincidentally, this year we also gave our first award for industry Thought Leadership. It went to SAM, an innovative asset manager and pioneer in creating sustainable indices. Unfortunately, a key winner – Edouard Carmignac, the founder and chief investment officer of Carmignac Gestion who won Personality of theYear – could not make it, though he sent a video acceptance speech. He was in Brazil on the November evening our awards took place – a reminder, perhaps, of the direction the economic winds are blowing. We’d like to thank our judges and all who attended. A special mention must go to our presenters who helped us streamline the ceremony and provided us with much humour. As Mark Tennant said, the industry had functioned well for 40 years until the financial crisis hit. He assured our guests they were at the beginning of another successful 40 years. Let’s take that thought into 2013.
