Summary
MA Moelis Australia (MA Australia) won the Industry Honour of the Year at the 2026 Fund Manager of the Year Awards. Hosted by Money Management and judged by independent investment research firm Lonsec, the awards have been held for 38 consecutive years and are a significant accolade in the Australian asset management industry. The award recognises MA's comprehensive strengths in investment management, risk control, product innovation and performance.
MA's Multi-Asset Priority Income Fund series, launched in 2018, had Assets Under Management (AUM) exceeding A$2.5 billion as of May 2026, with stable operations for nearly eight years.

Commentary
For New Zealand SME owners, while this news reflects Australian financial industry developments, it highlights cross-border investment and financing opportunities. MA Moelis Australia, as an ASX-listed group, has its award recognition indicating professional validation of its credit and asset management products (such as the Multi-Asset Priority Income Fund) in risk control and income stability. If your business is expanding into the Australian market or requires cross-border financing, consider MA as a potential partner, especially given its credit business scale of over A$179 billion, which may offer more flexible financing solutions.
On the other hand, the fund's A$2.5 billion size reflects Australian investors' preference for defensive credit products, suggesting NZ firms could adjust their asset allocation strategies or explore developing similar products for the NZ market in cooperation with MA. Note that cross-border investments involve currency fluctuations and regulatory differences between Australia and NZ; it is advisable to consult financial advisors familiar with both markets.
