[JOHANNESBURG, THURSDAY 31 JANUARY 2019]

The annual Raging Bull Awards gala dinner took place on 30 January 2019 at the Cape Town Convention Centre. These awards were presented to the best performing South African ASISA registered Collective Investment Schemes and Management companies for the period ended December 2018.

The Profile Group and its subsidiaries, ProfileData and PlexCrown Fund Ratings, is proud to have been selected as the data provider for the awards. The data includes both straight performance over 3 years for individual funds and calculates the risk-adjusted performance for the management company awards over 5 years.

"In the tough economic conditions we have faced, both in South Africa and globally in recent years, the investment selection process for both investors and fund managers remains as difficult as ever and our congratulations to the Raging Bulls and performance certificates winners", says Ernie Alexander, Executive Chairman of the Profile Group. "Thank you also to our dedicated team at ProfileData and PlexCrown, our partners Personal Finance, and all the sponsors and contributors for making the Raging Bull Awards what they are today."
