Asset Management Awards: part 1
Today AsianInvestor is announcing its new, improved asset management awards in a consolidated format for 2015.
We have moved to combine our service provider and investment performance awards into one. Collectively these will be called AsianInvestor's Asset Management Awards.
Although all of the awards will be announced together, we are staggering the pitch process. We begin now with asset services, and will follow with investment performance, country awards and marquee awards for investment managers in March.
For asset services, including custody, prime broking, legal and audit, and trading and execution, please click here to access our new online submission form. All pitches must be made using this digital process. We will not accept separate written pitches.
We include some basic information below. For investment managers, we will distribute a similar online pitch form in March. All winners will be announced online during the week of April 20.
AsianInvestor will celebrate all awards together at a black-tie gala dinner on Thursday, May 21 in Hong Kong. This will form part of AI Week, a three-day industry event from May 19-21 comprising workshops, panels, private discussion groups, awards and conferences. It will include our 10th annual Asian investment summit featuring investors from the region’s top funds.
