Rob Hinchliffe Named Best Portfolio Manager, Global Equity at 2025 Citywire Switzerland Portfolio Manager & Group Awards

PineBridge is delighted to share that Rob Hinchliffe, Portfolio Manager, Head of Global Sector Cluster Research, has been recognized as Best Portfolio Manager, Global Equity at the prestigious 2025 Citywire Switzerland Portfolio Manager & Group Awards.

The Citywire Switzerland Portfolio Manager & Group Awards recognize the top-performing asset managers and fund groups, applying a quantitative methodology to assess excellence in investment management. As such, this award follows a rigorous qualitative assessment, incorporating manager experience and outperformance relative to peers and the benchmark during the period January 2018 to January 2025.

Rob Hinchliffe commented: “The success of PineBridge’s equity team is built on our belief that equity market’s greatest inefficiency is in anticipating how a company will change over its lifecycle. As bottom-up, stock-selecting investors, we seek to generate alpha by focusing on a company’s fundamental underlying evolution, which the market often fails to recognize. I am delighted that this process, and our team’s hard work, has been recognized by securing this prestigious award.”

Citywire Best Group Awards methodology:

To win an award, groups must go through the Citywire Group Ratings methodology, which puts them against the best talent in an investment sector. The winner is the top fund group available to investors in Switzerland.

The key components of the methodology are:

• Manager experience: Every portfolio manager that has managed money for three years or more counts towards the Citywire Fund Group Rating in every sector they are eligible for.

• The analysis period covers seven years. Within this time frame, the average of the manager’s rolling three years risk-adjusted performance in the sector is calculated. This is weighted based on the period of activity during the time frame.

• Outperformance: Managers must add value above their benchmark over this time period. How much they outperform gives them a manager score.

• Scoring the group: All managers in the fund group active in that sector, who fulfil the criteria, have their scores averaged to produce a group score.
