The Global Investor Investment Excellence Awards 2020 are now open and derivatives firms should start thinking about making their entry.

This year, the Global Investor team has tweaked the categories to ensure they remain relevant to an industry that is constantly changing. This year, the awards are arranged into three distinct groups: asset managers, service providers and technology firms.

There are many categories relevant for derivatives firms, including:

Chief Executive Officer of the Year

Broker of the Year

Exchange of the Year

Clearing House of the Year

Trading Solution of the Year

Post-Trade Solution of the Year

Collateral Management Solution of the Year

Risk Management Solution of the Year

Regulatory Solution of the Year

We have also introduced a new state-of-the-art awards submission system that allows entrants to make their submissions quickly and easily.

The judging period runs from April 1 2019 to March 31 2020 and entrants should focus on innovation, mandate wins and performance in that period. We accept entries submitted by third parties, such as PR firms, on behalf of their clients.

The deadline for submissions is August 1, at which time the entries will be organised into a short list and sent out to our panel of judges comprising industry experts from the relevant sectors.

The winners will be announced on the Global Investor Group website later this year.
