Financial services industry stalwart and founder of Count Financial, Barry Lambert, was this year's recipient of the Lifetime Achievement award at the Money Management/Lonsec Fund Manager of the Year awards last night in Sydney.

The award was based not only on the significance of having established one of Australia's largest independent dealer groups, but also on Lambert's broader long-term contribution to the financial services industry.

Lambert worked for the Commonwealth Bank before he founded Count Financial in 1980, only to sell this dealer group to the same bank 30 years later.

His former prodigy - and current executive general manager of advice at Colonial First State - Marianne Perkovic sat by Lambert's side at the awards night in show of her support.

Schroder Investment Management, who won the overall Fund Manager of the Year award for the fourth consecutive time, as well as three out of four other awards for which they were nominated, once again dominated funds management-related categories.

Chief executive of Wealth Enhancers, Finn Kelly, took the Young Achiever of the Year award, while TAL's Nathan Kerr was named national BDM of the Year 2012.

Challenger's recently established small caps boutique - NovaPort Capital - was named Rising Star of the Year.

For the full coverage of the Fund Manager of the Year 2012 awards, take a look at this week's print edition of Money Management.
