The LSEG Lipper Fund Awards 2024 honors KIS Italia and KIS Bond Plus among the best European funds.

On March 6th, Kairos took the top spot twice at the LSEG Lipper Fund Awards Europe 2024. Winning in their respective categories were two longstanding products from the Kairos lineup boasting over ten years of track record:

• KIS Italia, a flexible equity fund investing in the Italian market with a focus on medium and large-cap stocks, was elected as the “Best Fund over 10 Years Alternative Long/Short Equity Europe”.

• KIS Bond Plus, a flexible bond product investing in liquid instruments of the bond market (government, corporate, and financial bonds), won as the “Best Fund over 10 Years Absolute Return Bond EUR”.

These funds demonstrated resilience in a period marked by various events shaking the financial markets. Flexibility was the key factor that allowed the management teams to achieve compelling results.

“Winning this award again makes us very proud because it confirms the validity of the strategy chosen since the product’s launch in the market in 2011. The portfolio is built on the principles of diversification and selectivity to adapt to different economic and financial contexts,” commented Rocco Bove, Head of Fixed Income and Portfolio Manager, along with Edoardo Noseda, of the KIS Bond Plus sector.

“We are honored to receive this prestigious recognition. It is the result of hard work and dedication from our team. We have consistently sought to innovate and maintain the highest standards in capital management,” commented the KIS Italia management team composed of Massimo Trabattoni, Head of Italian Equity, and Giacomo Lo Gatto, Portfolio Manager.
