Leaders in Trading 2022: Voting now open for this year’s Buy-Side Awards

Vote now for your preferred candidate across five categories, with winners announced at The TRADE’s flagship Leaders in Trading gala awards night at The Savoy Hotel on 3 November. 

The TRADE is delighted to reveal the shortlisted nominees for this year’s coveted Buy-Side Awards, in partnership with SIX Swiss Exchange. 

This year’s categories have been tweaked slightly, with a few changes to reflect the evolving market structure and trading landscape throughout the year. Most excitingly, we are delighted to announce a brand-new category of Fixed Income Trading Desk of the Year, the first time The TRADE has recognised this asset class on the buy-side.  

Shortlists were developed through a process of extensive evaluation and industry consultation, in partnership with SIX Swiss Exchange. Voting is now open and industry participants are invited to nominate their winners across the five categories, with the vote closing on Friday 21 October. 

The winners across each of the five categories, based on voting submissions, will be announced at The TRADE’s highly anticipated Leaders in Trading 2022 gala awards night, held at The Savoy Hotel in London on 3 November.  

The TRADE and SIX Swiss Exchange would like to extend their congratulations to all those nominated in the below categories.
