Following the announcement of the nominee list, Peter Doherty commented:

“It is very gratifying to be nominated for Fund Manager of the Year for the Titan Hybrid Capital Bond Fund. Having set up the fund in 2016, I have subsequently managed it with a consistent process, focusing on a line-by-line approach to build a secure diversified portfolio of higher yielding assets. The fund has experienced zero defaults or distressed sales since inception.  The Fund aims to generate 5% income per annum, net of all fees so returning 12.25% net return in 2024* was particularly pleasing as a number of researched assets realised their value”
