Best of Breed: H2 2026

Actively managed strategies continue to offer investors more portfolio options, but the increasing amount of active funds is making it harder for investors to choose which strategies hold long-term promise and merit. To help cut through the noise, Morningstar researchers have compiled a list of active strategies within the Morningstar fund universe that are considered the most compelling for Asian investors.

In a fast-changing landscape, the robustness of a fund’s investment process and the strength of its team are important. The strategies best positioned to deliver are those backed by experienced teams, proven processes, and the ability to adapt while remaining true to their philosophy. This edition highlights the managers we believe are most capable of doing so. Each mentioned strategy includes its reason for inclusion, analysis of its people, process, and portfolio pillars, and its Morningstar Medalist Rating and Morningstar Rating. Each edition’s strategies are drawn from foundational or trending asset classes and are qualitatively covered by Morningstar’s manager research team, blending short- and long-term investment analysis.
