In our autumn 2017 update, we announced that Allianz Technology Trust (ATT) had been chosen as one of the ‘Investors Chronicle Top 100 Funds’, for the fifth consecutive year. Investment performance played a big part in this achievement and Investors Chronicle noted that, at the time of its selection, the Trust was one of the best performing technology funds over one, three and five years, both in terms of its Net Asset Value and its share price performance.
Now that 2018 is well underway and we can look back on 2017 in its entirety, we can appreciate what a fantastic year ATT had in terms of its performance. In fact, it was one of the very best performing UK-listed investment trusts for the year as a whole. So, it’s no surprise that other awards have followed, with the most recent highlighted below:
Investment Week Investment Company of the Year Award 2017, Specialist category:
ATT won this coveted award in November 2017, having also been victorious in 2015. This award recognises excellence in closed-ended fund management and highlights the Trust’s consistent performance over time. The judging panel comprised some of the UK’s leading researchers and investors in investment trusts, as well as several senior board members with many years’ experience in the industry.
Money Observer Rated Fund 2018:
ATT has been included in Money Observer’s Rated Funds list for 2018. The list recognises open-ended funds and close-ended investment companies that have demonstrated consistent outperformance or that have been chosen as ideal routes into specific markets and sectors, reflecting the current investment environment.
