The awards were presented during the Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry’s Global Distribution Conference, in Kirchberg, on Tuesday.

Alfi said in a press release:

“Now in their second year, the Distribution Achievement Awards celebrate the industry professionals who exemplify the unique capabilities of their companies and support the efforts of their distribution partners in delivering all the information needed to help investors make informed choices.”

Diana Mackay of Broadridge stated in the announcement:

“In a crowded industry where fund performance is no longer a sufficient differentiator, fund groups must excel in the delivery of information, education and services across the spectrum of client support. The Distribution Achievement Awards are designed to acknowledge excellence in these key areas where asset management brands stand out as trusted throughout the value chain.”

The awards are based on an annual Broadridge survey of roughly 1,000 financial professionals “representing €3.2trn of third-party client assets in Europe.”
