Fisher Funds stand out

It’s not often we go out and sing the praises of one particular fund manager over another, but….

A few things have happened over the past couple of weeks which have made Fisher Funds stand out. The company has just celebrated its fifth birthday, managing director Carmel Fisher gave an interesting presentation to the Conferenz funds management conference in Auckland on boutique fund managers, Fisher’s NZ equity fund once again took the top prize in the local shares category of the Fundsource fund manager of the year awards, and last week Money Managers was on the end of a major telling off from the Advertising Standards Complaints Board after Alan Anderson made some pretty ill-informed and misleading comments about Fisher and the fund on Radio Pacific. These comments just helped reinforce how well Fisher has done.
