LSEG Lipper Fund Awards 2025 Recognizes KIS Bond Plus Among the Best European Funds

On March 20th, Kairos once again reached the top of the podium at the LSEG Lipper Fund Awards 2025.

The award was given to a flagship product in Kairos’ offering, boasting over ten years of track record: KIS Bond Plus, recognized not only in Europe but also in Switzerland.

KIS Bond Plus, a flexible bond fund that invests in liquid instruments within the fixed income market (government, corporate, and financial bonds), won in the category “Best Fund over 10 Years Absolute Return Bond EUR.”

The fund has demonstrated resilience during a period marked by various events that have shaken financial markets. Flexibility has been the key factor enabling the management team to achieve strong results.

“We are honored to receive the Lipper Fund Awards Europe 2025 in the Best Fund over 10 Years Absolute Return Bond EUR category once again this year. This accolade recognizes our commitment and investment strategy in a year shaped by significant developments in the fixed-income market. In 2024, we witnessed a decline in inflation and a subsequent easing of monetary policies by major central banks, creating a favorable environment for bond investments,” commented Rocco Bove, Head of Fixed Income.

“This scenario reinforced our conviction in the importance of active and flexible portfolio management, with a focus on issuer quality and sector diversification to capitalize on the best market opportunities. The award validates the effectiveness of our approach and motivates us to continue on this path, aiming to deliver solid and sustainable performance for our investors,” added Edoardo Noseda, Portfolio Manager, who co-manages the KIS Bond Plus strategy alongside Bove.
