HONG KONG, Apr 28, 2016 - (ACN Newswire) - E Fund Management Co., Ltd. ("E Fund") and E Fund Management (HK) Co., Ltd won two awards - China Fund House of the Year and China/Offshore Fund House of the Year respectively. This is the first time ever that a parent company in China and its Hong Kong based subsidiary were recognised across two markets at the same time.

The award is considered a tremendous accomplishment for E Fund as it recognises the continued efforts and breakthrough in investment research and branding under its 'internationalisation' strategy. The annual Asset Management Awards is organised by AsianInvestor, the leading Asia-Pacific asset management magazine in good standing for 16 years.

Winners of the Annual Asset Management Awards are evaluated and nominated by top-notch industry professionals and third party consultants. The evaluation takes into consideration criteria such as AUM, investment strategies and accomplishments, team experience and turnover, business innovation and other criteria. E Fund stands out from the peers with its strategic decision-making ability, excellent investment research, balanced asset class structures and prudent risk management scheme. The rapid development of E Fund HK in the overseas market also impressed the judging panel.

As the international business platform of E Fund, E Fund HK, with its professional management, is committed to providing asset management services to offshore investors in the Greater China Region and the American ADR market, while focusing on the establishment of an international asset allocation platform to satisfy the investment demands from mainland China.

Presently, E Fund Hong Kong has established three different business lines: Product Series of Fixed Income in the Greater China Region (including investments in bonds in the mainland market through QFII, RQFII, and investments in bonds of offshore Chinese entities); equity products in the Greater China Region (including QDII products); and special product series.

In recent years, E Fund HK has received numerous recognitions from an increasing number of professional investors given its outstanding investment abilities and considerable experience in asset management.
