According to InfoMoney, the third edition of Outliers InfoMoney, scheduled for 2027, will have professionals joining two councils, the technical and the curator, responsible for selecting the highlights of the award. The initiative was created in 2025 and is aimed at the investment fund market, a sector in which public recognition of managers usually weighs on the decision of those looking for where to invest.
The investigation indicates that the choice of highlights combines qualitative and quantitative criteria, depending on the category. In qualitative categories, such as best managers, the finalists are chosen by the Board of Trustees, made up of judges with extensive experience in the fund industry.
Members of this council have already served as presidents of ANBIMA or ABVCAP, two entities in the sector. Also according to InfoMoney, the text does not include the names of the 2027 members, which leaves the final composition of the committees open.
What is at stake is the credibility of the label. A prize only gains weight for those who invest when the selection criteria are clear and the person who decides has a recognized track record. According to the published description, the 2027 edition attempts to combine metrics with expert judgment, and the way in which the two councils will divide the work will still have to be seen in practice.
What changes for the investor
For those who invest in funds, the most direct effect is informative. An award with explicit criteria can serve as an additional point of reference when comparing managers, without replacing the analysis of rates, risk, history and suitability for each investor's profile. The calculation does not provide any information about asset performance, and the announcement does not signal movements in the stock market, Nasdaq, interest rates or the dollar. Anyone who trades shares or interest must treat the event as sector news, and not as a price signal.
