The TRADE is pleased to announce the shortlist for this year’s Buy-side awards, in partnership with The Swiss Stock Exchange.
Voting is now open to the industry. Market participants are invited to vote for their winners across the six categories. Winners in each category will be announced during a special digital presentation as part of Leaders in Trading: The Digital Experience (LiTDX) on 26 February.
Shortlists were decided by The TRADE editorial team in partnership with SIX, who will both review the submissions and approve the winners in each category once voting has closed on 15 January.
Nominations are also now open for the LiTDX Rising Stars of Trading Execution. Now in its sixth year, the Rising Stars initiative celebrates the most promising up-and-coming talents in trading.
