Prizes and Awards
On 10 October 2006, Gérifonds was awarded the BANCO d’OR 2006 “Fund Administrator of the Decade” prize by BANCO, the specialist Swiss asset management magazine. This award was given in recognition of the fastest growth achieved over the past decade in fund management and in the number of products both managed and/or administered as well as success in integrating private-label funds.
Every year, the Fund Services of Morningstar (formerly known as Standard & Poor's) or LIPPER, both globally recognised rating agencies, establish a short list of Switzerland's best-performing investment funds.
