The folks at T. Rowe Price may have broken out the champagne in recent days, thanks to recognition last week from a mutual fund industry trade group.

Kimber Lintz Investment Management Education Alliance Executive Director

Last Wednesday (October 23), the team at the Investment Management Education Alliance (IMEA) hosted their 28th annual IMEA Star Awards celebration. The event, long held in Chicago, was switched to New York City this time, to Invesco's offices in lower Manhattan. (Also in lower Manhattan last week, the IMEA team hosted their internal sales desk and national accounts roundtables, their boutique funds reception, their philanthropic day, and their leadership and marketing summits.) Longtime Star Awards support Imprint sponsored the program yet again.

The T. Rowe team won four Star awards this time: for "investor content: investment thought leadership," "investor content: retirement," "investor education," and "advisor content: value add programs/practice management," (all in the "large asset class" category). (T. Rowe won one Star award last year.)

Franklin Templeton, Invesco, and Nationwide all won three awards each this time, as did recordkeeper MissionSquare Retirement (as reported by 401kWire, our sister publication). Calamos, Janus Henderson, John Hancock, and William Blair each won two.

Other Star-winning fund firms last week included: Ameriprise's Columbia Threadneedle; Federated Hermes, Hartford, Hennessy, Macquarie, Natixis, TIAA's Nuveen, Principal, Saturna, Thrivent, Transamerica, and U.S. Global Investors.
