Otto Christian Kober, Head of Lipper Research, LSEG Data & Analytics, said: “For the first time, LSEG Lipper is calculating two different fund awards in 2026 in Europe, covering both mutual funds and, for the first time, ETFs: one for active and another for passive products. The 2026 LSEG Lipper Fund Awards mark another volatile three-year stretch for global markets. The managers we’re recognizing have guided investors through an environment where base rates have spiked, then diverged, as central banks navigated new and challenging inflationary landscapes, alongside uneven global growth, and heightened geopolitical risk.
Whether active managers entered the market in the era of easy money or have navigated cycles for decades, the recent period made one thing plain: durable results come from a disciplined process, not prediction. The same is true for passive products: in times of uncertainty in the securities markets, a robust plain vanilla index methodology seems to be the most important factor when determining the award winners.
We applaud the 2026 LSEG Lipper Fund Award winners for delivering outperformance and the steady reassurance of consistency through changing market conditions.”
