Milford has been named Diversified Growth Fund Manager of the Year at the 2026 INFINZ Awards, marking the fourth time it has received the accolade in the past five years.
The annual awards, run by the Institute of Finance Professionals New Zealand (INFINZ), recognise excellence across the country’s financial services sector and were presented at a gala dinner in Auckland on 14 May.
Award judges said strong risk management, especially in the first quarter of 2025, contributed to Milford’s win.
The Diversified Growth Fund Manager of the Year category is assessed using both quantitative performance analysis and qualitative evaluation by an expert panel.
“Performance was generated from strong bottom-up analysis, in a risk-controlled manner,” the judges noted, adding they were “impressed with the quality of the people and their alignment with customers’ values.”
Milford has now won this award in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2026, and was a finalist in 2025.
This latest award adds to Milford’s recognition and reflects the collective efforts of its investment team and wider business.
