Now in its eleventh year, the Rising Stars initiative recognises key buy-side individuals who go above and beyond the call of duty, whether that be through day-to-day activities or through thought leadership on industry platforms.
Previously recognised individuals have gone on to head up some of the largest and most successful desks across leading asset managers and hedge funds.
Following on from the success of our inaugural standalone Rising Stars event last year – which celebrated 10 years of the initiative – The TRADE, in collaboration with Instinet, will be hosting another special event at One Moorgate Place on Wednesday 8 October to celebrate the 25 individuals.
Rising Stars alumni are also invited to attend the event and meet the newest additions to the prestigious list.
Please join The TRADE and Instinet in recognising this year’s Rising Stars of Trading and Execution for 2025.
If you are a member of the buy-side community and would like to attend the Rising Stars awards presentation, please register here.
