After another challenging year, you all deserve recognition for successfully keep adapting yourselves as fund professionals during a year market with new variants of Covid 19 and inflation.
The three categories awarded at this year’s RankiaPro Europe awards ceremony come from our monthly Profesional of the Month interview series, where we interview and present a different Fund Manager, Sales Manager, and Fund Selector on our website to our readers. At the end of the year, the 12 professionals in each category are eligible for the category award.
Selection process
The winner for each category is selected in part through a public vote. RankiaPro opened the online polls to for a one month period, and encouraged all of our readers and wider network to cast their vote. We received over 1,000 votes for each award category, so thank you for your participation.
In addition to the public voting, we consider the traffic the interview received on our website, and the reverberation via social media, such as the engagement on LinkedIn.
