In partnership with Instinet, nominations are now open for candidates currently working in a trading role with a buy-side firm. Names can be submitted here for the stars you think deserve recognition. 

Successful individuals will be honoured as part of a special presentation at The TRADE’s gala Leaders in Trading 2023 awards evening, held at The Savoy Hotel on 8 November. Further details of the event can be found here.  

Our Rising Stars have long demonstrated their success, with many winners in previous years going on to head up desks and take senior positions at some of the world’s foremost asset managers, hedge funds, and institutions.
