Chester High Conviction Fund named finalist in FMOTY 2026 Awards

Chester Asset Management is pleased to announce that the Chester High Conviction Fund has been named a finalist in the Australian Large Cap Equity category at the 2026 Money Management Fund Manager of the Year Awards.


The recognition highlights the strength of Chester’s disciplined investment approach and continued focus on identifying long-term value opportunities in an evolving market environment.


Rob Tucker, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager at Chester Asset Management, said:

“Chester is thrilled to be nominated for this award. Given the rise of passive investing, we believe it’s more important than ever to stay disciplined around our valuation framework and patient with our conviction. Some of our best ideas have come from unloved, underappreciated, or undiscovered assets. Our long-held view is that inflation is a far more structural challenge throughout this decade than the previous two decades, which lends itself to the notion that valuation discipline will be increasingly important over the coming years.”

The Fund Manager of the Year Awards recognise excellence, innovation and leadership across Australia’s investment management industry, with winners to be announced in June 2026.

Chester Asset Management is honoured to be recognised alongside a strong field of finalists and congratulates all nominees across this year’s awards program.
