Following an extensive and lengthy selection process over the summer, The TRADE is delighted to announce the shortlists for the Leaders in Trading Editors’ Choice London Awards 2025.
Following a record number of nominations for this year’s categories, our editorial judging panel compiled the list, with the winners set to be revealed at The Savoy Hotel on 6 November 2025, alongside our other prestigious awards including the EMS, Algorithmic Trading and Buy-Side categories.
The mainstay awards of the Editors’ Choice segment are back again: Outstanding Exchange Group, Equities Trading Venue, Dark Trading Venue, Fixed Income Trading Venue, FX Trading Venue, and Derivatives Exchange Group.
Other categories span Technology, Market Data, TCA Clearing, Market Structure Services on the Sell-Side and more.
Now in its fourth year, the vote for the Industry Person of the Year 2025 will once again be opened up to a public vote on the awards night, so keep your eyes peeled for a shortlist announcement in the coming weeks.
Visit our event page for more information.
