Asia Asset Management (AAM) picked up a key editorial accolade at the State Street Institutional Press Awards Asia Pacific 2025 held in April 2026, underscoring its continued relevance in the pensions and asset management coverage in the region.

The publication secured the Award for Best Editorial Comment, a category that recognises outstanding opinion writing and analysis.

The winning piece was authored by Goh Thean Eu, who also received a highly commended mention in the Journalist of the Year (Pensions category), placing him among the region’s leading voices covering retirement systems, pension reforms and long-term savings trends.

The dual recognition highlights both the publication’s editorial strength and its ability to combine specialist reporting with sharp, insight-driven commentary.

“We are honoured to be recognsed by the judging panel for the award and it reaffirms our commitment to editorial excellence and relevance in the world of pensions and investments; we believe the award also attests to the publication’s approach in delivering timely news and concise and balanced analysis on the issues that matter to readers,” says Tan Lee Hock, founder and publisher of Asia Asset Management.

The  State Street Institutional Press Awards Asia Pacific debuted in 2012. This year’s winning articles were selected for their style, content, accuracy, and timeliness by an independent panel of seven industry professionals, State Street Corp says in a statement on April 21.

There were around 250 submissions received this year.

Other members of the judging panel include: Raymond Li, professor of practice and head of department of journalism at Hong Kong Baptist University, King Au, executive director at the Financial Services Development Council, and Lawrence Au, founder and chief executive officer of The LaunchPad.Biz, a strategic management consulting firm.
