or three days industry professionals see a variety of managers running different classes. Between sessions there are also external speakers who present their views on anything from the global economic outlook to the future of the trade business. These events are free of charge but only open to qualified investors, wealth managers and advisers by personal selection from Citywire. Fund Manager Ratings Citywire Fund Manager Ratings track managers, not their funds, looking at how they've performed across all the funds they've run, wherever they've run them over the past three years. The methodology is purely quantitative, rewarding managers for superior risk-adjusted returns. The service judges fund managers on performance relative to a benchmark on the funds they run. Citywire chooses the benchmark, just in case the asset management group has chosen one it believes is not robust enough. Fund Manager Ratings is an impartial service and nobody can pay Citywire to rate a manager. Citywire rates all eligible managers (around 15,000 active managers in 41 countries around the world). Awards Citywire hosts awards for fund managers in the financial services industry. The basis of the awards is strictly mathematical, with no human verdict.
