Ensuring excellence is rewarded

Our judging process is designed to be rigorous and thorough to ensure all entries receive full consideration and that excellence in each of the categories is truly rewarded. A diverse panel of leading hedge fund COOs, CFOs, CCOs, GCs and CTOs will make up the judging panel. The judges will be split into groups depending on their specialist expertise.
