William Blair Investment Management has been honored as the Best Emerging Markets Local Currency Fixed Income Manager at this year’s Citywire Asia Asset Management Awards.
Winners were selected through a process that combined qualitative and quantitative analysis and highlight leading firms across seven fixed-income categories. These awards honor exceptional fund management and identify those that consistently deliver strong risk-adjusted results for clients.
The awards were announced on November 10, 2025. Citywire selected winners through a three-step process combining quantitative and qualitative analysis. Its research team first compiled shortlists based on Citywire risk-adjusted performance data (for the three-year period ended June 30, 2025), followed by a survey of leading private bank fund selectors and external asset managers across the region, who voted for their top choices. Finally, Citywire combined this data with the detailed submissions from shortlisted fund groups to help determine the winners. William Blair Investment Management paid a fee to use the award logo and to attend the award ceremony.
