RankiaPro Europe is pleased to announce the winners of the third edition of the RankiaPro Europe Awards.

Selection Process
The four categories honored at the RankiaPro Europe awards ceremony stem from our regular Professional of the Month interview series.
Throughout the year, we showcase distinct individuals, namely a Fund Manager, Sales Manager, Advisor and Fund Selector, on our website for our readers’ benefit. As the year draws to a close, the 12 professionals within each category become eligible for the respective award.
The recipient for each category is determined through a combination of public voting, website traffic, and social media engagement. RankiaPro facilitated online polls for a duration of one month, urging our readers and broader network to participate. We want to thank you all for your overwhelming participation, with more than 1.000 votes.
In addition to the public vote, we analyze the interview’s website traffic and its impact on social media platforms like LinkedIn. These three factors are amalgamated and assigned appropriate weights to calculate the final score, which ultimately determines the winner.
Congratulations to the champions!
