The Global Investor Investment Excellence Awards 2021 celebrate exceptional performance by asset managers, service providers and technology vendors
The Global Investor Investment Excellence Awards 2021 are now open and we would like to invite asset managers, service providers and tech firms to make their submissions for this year.
The Global Investor team reviews the Investment Excellence Awards categories on an annual basis to ensure they reflect the dynamic nature of the industry they celebrate. You might notice that we have made some changes this year, such as the inclusion for the first time of an ESG custodian of the Year award.
As in previous years, the awards are arranged into three distinct groups: asset managers, service providers and technology firms.
These are the categories for the Investment Excellence Awards 2021:
Asset Management Awards | Service Provider Awards | Technology Awards |
| Custodian of the Year |
|
Asset Manager of the Year | ESG Custodian of the Year | Technology Innovation of the Year |
Equity Manager of the Year | Fund Administrator of the Year | Trading Solution of the Year |
Fixed Income Manager of the Year | Private Equity Fund Administrator of the Year | Risk Management Solution of the Year |
ESG Manager of the Year | Real Estate Fund Administrator of the Year | Collateral Management Solution of the Year |
Boutique Manager of the Year | Transfer Agent of the Year | Order Management Solution of the Year |
Emerging Markets Manager of the Year | Broker of the Year | Post-Trade Solution of the Year |
ETF Manager of the Year | Exchange of the Year | Compliance Solution of the Year |
Wealth Manager of the Year | Clearing House of the Year | Outsourced Solution of the Year |
Transition Manager of the Year | Custody CEO of the Year | Regulatory Reporting Solution of the Year |
We have also tweaked our submission process to ensure that entrants can make their pitches quickly and easily.
The relevant period for this year runs from July 1 2020 to June 30 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 July 2 2021, at which point the entries will be organised into short lists and sent out to our panels of judges comprising industry experts from the relevant sectors. The contents of the submissions will remain confidential throughout and will not be published.
The winners will be announced online in the first instance and the awards will be presented at a live event which we hope to host later in the year.
