Three members of William Blair’s global equity team—Todd McClone, CFA, partner, portfolio manager; Casey Preyss, CFA, partner, portfolio manager; and Vivian Lin Thurston, CFA, partner, portfolio manager—have been recognized among Handelsblatt Research Institute’s Best Fund Managers 2026 in the Emerging Markets Equity category for William Blair’s Emerging Markets Growth SICAV fund.
The Handelsblatt Research Institute evaluated actively managed equity funds available to retail investors in Germany across five investment categories. The 2026 Best Fund Managers ranking was based on Scope’s peer-group performance assessment, fund-rating agency evaluations (Citywire, Scope and Morningstar), and a survey of approximately 260 fund companies. Rankings were published October 16, 2026.
Performance was evaluated over the three-year period through June 30, 2026, including each fund’s outperformance relative to the average of its peer group. Only actively managed funds available to retail investors in Germany were eligible, and the top 25 funds in each category were recognized.
Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Investing involves risks, including the possible loss of principal.
