The submission window for the FOW International Awards 2023 closes on October 17, giving firms and individuals one more chance to showcase their achievements.

These awards, divided into 29 categories, acknowledge outstanding contributions in the derivatives industry within Exchange & Clearing, Technology, Banks, Brokers, Props & Buyside as well as Individual outperformance. They highlight the best and brightest talents, emphasising the pursuit of excellence in the sector.

What sets the FOW International Awards apart is the rigour of its evaluation process. An esteemed panel of judges assess submissions to identify outstanding performers in each category.

In the previous 2022 edition, SGX Group clinched the prestigious title of Global Exchange of the Year, while CME Clearing was Clearing House of the Year. Individual accolades were awarded to Ian Lowitt from Marex as Chief Executive of the Year, and Stephen O'Connor from Quantile, honoured with the Lifetime Achievement award.
