The Awards celebrate the top performing firms and individuals in trading, brokerage, clearing and technology
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.
