F/m Investments (“F/m”) has been named Asset Manager of the Year (Retail Advisory AUM < $25B) at the 2025 MMI/Barron’s Industry Awards. The award recognizes asset managers that offer breakthrough solutions, empowering advisors and investors through innovation and execution.
“This award is a great honor for the F/m team and supports our conviction that fixed income doesn’t have to be complex to be powerful,” said Alex Morris, CEO of F/m Investments. “Whether we’re launching category-defining ETFs or challenging outdated industry structures, we keep the same objective in mind: build practical tools that improve outcomes and expand access for investors.”
F/m earned the Asset Manager of the Year designation with meaningful product and regulatory advancements, including the launch of RBIL, the first ETF focused on ultra-short Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS); ZTOP, a high-yield ETF targeting only the 100 most liquid and highest-quality issuers; and a first of its kind SEC filing to enable ETF and mutual fund share classes to coexist under a single trust, enhancing flexibility for advisors and fund managers alike.
These efforts complement the firm’s growing ETF suite, which has attracted more than $8 billion of AUM in under three years. F/m’s line-up of ETFs includes TBIL, the increasingly popular US Treasury 3 Month Bill ETF, as well as nine other US Treasury ETFs to cover the yield curve from three months to 30 years.
With a track record of executing quickly on advisor needs, F/m continues to redefine fixed income investing through simplicity and structure-first innovation. The firm’s product strategy and media-driven thought leadership have helped advisors navigate evolving macro conditions, manage inflation risk, and optimize portfolio construction across market cycles.
