The Raging Bull Awards serves as a platform for the South African financial services and investment industry to recognise the achievements of managers of collective investment schemes.

The annual ceremony, which represents the “Oscars” of the industry, celebrates the top performers across the full range of fund categories in terms of best outright performance, best risk-adjusted performance, and best overall performance by an asset management company of the previous year.

Raging Bull trophies and certificates are awarded for straight performance over three years and for risk-adjusted performance over five years, the latter taking into account a fund’s consistency of performance and risk profile. The most coveted award is the South African Manager of the Year, based on the overall risk-adjusted performance of a manager’s qualifying funds.

For the benefit of the investing public, the 2025 awards have been expanded to include passively managed unit trusts and both passively and actively managed exchange traded funds (ETFs).
