There are just over three weeks to go until The TRADE’s Rising Stars of Trading and Execution Awards 2026.
Now in its twelfth year, the awards will once again bring together the buy-side trading community to celebrate the next generation of talent shaping the industry.
Held in collaboration with Instinet, this year’s standalone ceremony will take place on 30 September at One Moorgate Place, London, where 25 of the most talented up-and-coming individuals on the buy-side will be recognised.
Ahead of the Rising Stars of Trading and Execution presentation, attendees on the night will also hear from an expert panel of senior industry figures from across the buy-side.
Take a look at some of The TRADE’s previously recognised individuals here. The 2026 cohort is set to be announced later this week, stay tuned!
