“When it comes to the how and why of the M&G (Lux) Emerging Markets Bond Fund’s long-term outperformance, the investment process is key. Unlike many of its bottom-up-focused peers, the fund’s managers navigate the notoriously tricky and often unfashionable emerging markets landscape by starting with a top-down assessment of the broader global macroeconomic backdrop. From there, M&G Investments leverages its considerable credit analysis resources to make astute investment calls on local and hard currency government bonds and hard currency corporate bonds,” said Daniel Shane, editor of Asian Private Banker and head of the Judging Panel at the Asset Management Awards for Excellence 2025.

“Over the long term, that process has proved to be the correct one as the M&G (Lux) Emerging Markets Bond Fund has beaten the returns of its benchmark on most timeframes, and duly been rewarded with robust client inflows from the regional private wealth channel. All that for an asset class that has struggled to capture investors’ attention in recent years.

“Asian Private Banker is proud to present M&G Investments with the prize of Best Fund Provider – Emerging Market Bond at our Asset Management Awards for Excellence 2025. We congratulate everyone at M&G Investments on their ongoing success.”
