SG Hiscock & Company and LaSalle Investment Management have won the global REIT category at the 2025 Zenith Fund Awards for the SGH LaSalle Concentrated Global Property Fund.

The Zenith Fund Awards recognises and encourages excellence in funds management across all asset classes and disciplines. Each of the awards is based on long-term factors derived from Zenith’s extensive research and due diligence of fund managers, including quantitative aspects of the funds' longer-term returns to investors, as well as organisational and investment team strength, investment philosophy, portfolio construction, security valuation and selection, risk management, and fees.

The SGH LaSalle Concentrated Global Property Fund seeks to provide total return through long-term capital appreciation and current income by investing primarily in equity and equity-related securities issued by Australian and international property entities. US based portfolio manager, Matthew Sgrizzi leads the team that managed the fund.

SG Hiscock & Company is the distributor of the fund in the Australian market. SG Hiscock founder Stephen Hiscock said the award is a testament to the LaSalle team, and its rigorous investment process and continuous commitment to generate strong returns for clients.

“Winning the Zenith Fund Manager Awards is recognition of the tremendous work led by Matthew and his team — their dedication, strong fundamentals, and consistent investment discipline have been proven over many years.

“They continue to identify opportunities with compelling valuations and capitalise on diverse areas of the global property markets. LaSalle’s disciplined approach has enabled the fund to deliver strong returns since its inception,” said Mr Hiscock.

Over a 5-year period, the fund has a net annualised return of 10.75 per cent, compared to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index, at 5.20 per cent. It also has a Highly Recommended rating from Zenith, a Recommended rating from Lonsec, and a Recommended rating from Genium.
