Morningstar announces the winners of the Morningstar Awards 2021. We hand out our prestigious awards to funds and fund houses that not only delivered a strong performance in 2020, but also beat their competitors over the past five years. The finalists and winners have clearly demonstrated their skills and added value for investors. They are among the best in their category based on their excellent risk-adjusted returns. Morningstar congratulates all finalists, and above all, the winners, for their outstanding performance and winning their coveted Morningstar Awards.
Although the winners of the Morningstar Awards deserve praise, it should be noted that past performance is no guarantee of future results. Nonetheless, this year's winners include several funds and fund houses that have won or been nominated for Morningstar Awards in the past. In some instances, the top three in a particular category has beaten hundreds of competing offerings. That is a testimony to excellent fund management.
