Asset Management Awards 2026: Meet the judges

AsianInvestor is pleased to unveil the confirmed judges for our 2026 awards season.

This year, 24 senior executives will serve on the institutional panel for the Asset Management Awards, and 7 more will join the panel for the brand-new AsianInvestor Wealth Awards.
