Nominations are now open for The TRADE’s 2026 Rising Stars of Trading and Execution Awards.
Names can be submitted here for the stars you think deserve recognition, so don’t miss your chance to vote. Good luck to all!
In collaboration with Instinet, Rising Stars recognises the brightest up-and-coming talent across trading and execution. Recipients will be honoured at a standalone event on 30 September at One Moorgate Place, London.
The evening, held in collaboration with Instinet, will celebrate 25 of the most talented, up-and-coming individuals on the buy-side.
Of course, the event wouldn’t be complete without an expert panel of trading leaders, discussing what’s front of mind for heads of desks, which skills to prioritise, and of course some invaluable advice for the next generation. Stay tuned for the panel lineup!
The TRADE’s Rising Stars recipients have long demonstrated their success, with many past winners going on to head up desks and take on senior positions at some of the world’s foremost asset managers, hedge funds and institutions.
All industry participants are welcome to nominate buy-side candidates.
If you are on the buy-side and would like to register your attendance for this year’s Rising Stars ceremony, please contact karen.delahoy@thetradenews.com or register your attendance at the awards ceremony directly, here.
