For Investment, Certainty is Scarce

LONDON, July 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

In the past year, it's been a very tough task to ascertain the securest path for investment. No one market has proved dominant, and those in charge of managing investments have had to react at lighting speed to swift changes in market direction for all but the longest term options. 

Though investment returns are down, the change in market fortunes has to a degree, proved beneficial for investors. Those investment managers who had previously moved with the crowd in pre-downturn, secure markets, now have their lack of skill made apparent by far more challenging conditions. Conversely, the past year has allowed investment managers with real skill and understand of the markets have demonstrated their superiority. 

The World Finance Investment Management Awards 2011 credit those who have been seen to lead the field and, up to now, capitalise on uncertain markets.
