Mutual Fund Industry & ETF Award Methodology
The shortlists and winners are comprised of individuals and firms who submit entries or are nominated via the online submission process, as well as through recommendations from leading market participants. Judges use the submitted application material, as well as any uploaded supplemental information, to determine which firm, individual or product they believe to be the most suitable and deserving winners for each category. Judges have the discretionary power to move nominations into alternative categories that they think may be more suitable.
The asset manager sales, marketing and leadership awards and the fund director awards are adjudicated by a panel of industry experts convened by the Fund Intelligence and Fund Directions editorial teams. The industry judges, who must declare any conflict, contribute their sector expertise to assess the shortlist of candidates and come to a decision on the winners. A separate panel of industry experts judge the ETF categories. Additional information may be obtained at https://www.mutualfundindustryawards.com/home.
