KUALA LUMPUR, June 29 -- Saturna Sdn Bhd (SSB) was recently named Best International Equity Fund Manager by Malaysia’s Employees Provident Fund (EPF) in its 2019 External Fund Managers Awards.
The wholly-owned subsidiary of Saturna Capital was selected in the FTSE Shariah World Developed Mandate 2019 category: ‘Best International Equity Fund Manager’ overall and ‘Best 3-Year ROI International Equity Fund Manager’.
“We are honoured to receive two 2019 EPF awards as recognition of our dedication to the retirement well-being of Malaysia’s employees,” said Saturna Sdn Bhd president, Shahariah Shaharudin, in a statement.
“I accept the awards on behalf of the Saturna Sdn Bhd crew, who strive to innovate and continuously improve our asset management performance and create value through Islamic and sustainable investing.”
The EPF External Fund Managers Annual Awards recognises outstanding performance of asset managers who invest in diversified segments of Malaysia’s EPF pool, in accordance with specific mandates.
The EPF outsources portfolio management to firms based on how well their specialised investment skills and experience match a given allocation mandate and the likelihood of superior risk-adjusted, long-term performance.
As the winner of the ‘Best 3-Year ROI International Equity Fund Manager’ award, SSB earned the highest ROI over the three-year rolling period ended Dec 31, 2019.
The Annual EPF External Fund Managers Awards Dinner originally scheduled for spring of 2020 was cancelled due to the global outbreak of COVID-19.
