The Alexander Credit Opportunities Fund has won Best Fixed Income and Credit Fund at the Australian Alternative Investment Awards held in Sydney.
This is the second year in a row Alexander has won the award and the sixth time in nine years.

The Australian Alternative Investment Awards honour fund managers that can deliver consistent, competitive risk-adjusted returns regardless of market movements.
“It’s always a privilege to be acknowledged for the work we do for our investors,” said Alexander Funds’ CEO Rachel Shirley. “To have won this award so consistently over the past decade highlights the strength of our team and processes. Credit investing has been a challenging environment over the past few years but we’re proud to be among the top performers”.
