Ensuring excellence is rewarded

The judging process was designed to be rigorous and thorough to ensure all entries received full consideration and that excellence in each of the categories was truly rewarded.

Our broad and independent panel of more than 20 industry names including leading allocators, ETF strategists, independent directors and consultants conducted a rigorous assessment of each category to ensure that only the most truly deserving firms were recognized.

Groups of judges were allocated categories, which are aligned to their specific market knowledge and avoid conflict of interest. Each group of judges had no access to the submissions or results of categories that they were not involved in judging.
