Every year, we acknowledge the efforts of some of the most committed professionals in the asset management industry. Our readers and followers had the chance to vote for their preferred candidates during a one-month period. Now that the voting process has ended, we are thrilled to announce the finalists for the 2021 RankiaPro Europe Awards in each category.
These three categories are part of our monthly Professional of the Month interview series, where we select the most outstanding Sales Managers, Advisors, Fund Managers, and Fund Selectors in the asset management industry in Europe. To select the finalists, we consider various aspects, such as the percentage of engagement of the interviews and the number of votes the professionals receive during the open call for votes. We combine this data into a single weighting to obtain a final score that we will use to determine the winner.
Congratulations to all our RankiaPro Europe Awards finalists!
