There are three types of Morningstar award: the Morningstar Category Awards, the Morningstar Asset Manager Awards, and the Morningstar Asset Manager Sustainable-Investing Awards.

“The Morningstar Awards for Investing Excellence commends funds and asset managers for serving investors well and which Morningstar’s Manager Research team believes will be able to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns in the longer term. Based on Morningstar’s forward-looking ratings for funds, the Morningstar manager research team carefully decide the winners, across equity, fixed income, and multi-asset categories, as the leading funds within Luxembourg for investors. Additionally, with our Asset Manager Sustainable-Investing Awards, we seek to recognize asset managers that have built strong ESG capabilities and have proven track records of integrating sustainability principles into their investment organizations” said Jeffrey Schumacher, Director of Manager Research EMEA, Morningstar Inc.
