Ensuring excellence is rewarded

The judging process is designed to be rigorous and thorough to ensure all entries receive 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 make up the judging panel. The judges are split into groups depending on their specialist expertise.

To add further scrutiny to the process we will invite shortlisted firms for selected award categories to attend face-face judging sessions where they will pitch their entries to a selection of the judging panel.
