History
The first Raging Bull Awards ceremony was held in 1997, and was initiated by Personal Finance’s founding editor, Bruce Cameron and Plexus Asset Management. The motivation was to provide investors with a guide to unit trust funds that deliver good, sustainable performance over a certain period of time, without too much risk.
Now more than 1,000 funds form part of the calculation. The awards remain coveted, and the roll of honour is limited to a select few funds and managers who have proved their abilities over longer periods. These are the managers that investors can choose with confidence.
Hosts
Since its launch in 1996, Personal Finance has established itself as the leader in this market, tackling issues affecting the pockets of the consumer. It is a lifestyle publication rather than a strictly business or financial publication – written to be accessible, interesting and useful to individuals concerned about their financial affairs. Very high journalistic standards and the use of plain language and graphics to explain complex financial issues make Personal Finance a credible source of information with sound money advice for the conscience reader. It is carried in Independent Media’s national Saturday titles – Saturday Star, Weekend Argus and Independent on a Saturday, as well as in Business Report on a Friday, which appears in The Mercury, The Star and the Cape Times. It also appears in the Cape Argus and Daily News on Tuesdays and Thursdays respectively. Personal Finance also has a bi-weekly podcast available on IOL, where all print articles will be published as well. Personal Finance is the host of the annual Raging Bull Awards, and compiles a digital magazine on the event.
