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 is truly rewarded. A diverse panel of leading hedge fund COOs, CFOs, CCOs, GCs and CTOs made up the judging panel.

The judges were split into groups depending on their specialist expertise. To add further scrutiny to the process shortlisted firms for selected award categories attended face-face judging sessions where they pitched their entries to a selection of the judging panel.
