Judging Fairly

Ensuring excellence is rewarded

For any awards, carrying out fair, consistent, and accurate judging is key to ensuring the true winners are recognized. The judging process for the Fund Operations & Services Awards 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 senior executives from the leading funds will make up the judging panel. The judges will be split into groups depending on their specialist expertise.
