Vontobel finished atop the podium at the Feri EuroRating Management Awards in Germany on 22 November 2011, as the European ratings agency Feri EuroRating Services AG and the news broadcaster n-tv voted Vontobel the best asset manager for bond funds in Switzerland.

Vontobel Asset Management has a wealth of expertise in the fixed income sector, covering the key regions and asset classes. As of the end of September, it had assets under management in the bond fund segment totalling CHF 7.6 bn. “This award is testimony to the quality of performance our actively managed products deliver, particularly in difficult market phases,” said Anna Holzgang, Head of Portfolio Management Bond Funds. Vontobel Asset Management plans to expand further in the bonds segment.

For the nominations, Feri assesses all of a company’s funds over the past twelve months on the basis of quantitative criteria. Feri compiles these results into an overall score, with each of the funds having an equal weighting. The top five fund companies in eight categories in Switzerland, Germany and Austria are nominated. The winner is then chosen by the Feri EuroRating Management Awards jury on the basis of a qualitative assessment.
