The TRADE is pleased to announce the shortlist for this year’s Buy-Side awards. The winners in each category will be announced at the Leaders in Trading 2019 ceremony at London’s Savoy Hotel on 21 November.
Voting for this year’s nominees is now open to the industry and will close on 1 November. Last year’s voting process received nearly 1,000 submissions and this year we hope to break that target. A judging panel composed of The TRADE editorial team, the London Stock Exchange and the Investment Association, will review the submissions and approve the winners in each category. The coveted Buy-side lifetime achievement award will also be announced on the night.
Shortlists for the Editor’s Choice and Algorithmic Trading & EMS awards have already been published.
