Wealth and Asset Management Awards 2024

Global Insurance and Risk Management Awards (2022)

Wealth and Finance International returns for the second time with their Global Insurance and Risk Management Awards for 2022. These awards are here to celebrate the contributions delivered by both the insurance and risk assessment sector and all the hard-working professionals involved in it. We pride ourselves on being inclusive with our nominations, meaning all sectors of the industry are welcome to participate, from travel and business insurance to medical indemnity, and worker’s compensation – we aim to not limit the vast array of sectors in this field of expertise. It brings us great joy to be able to acknowledge the grit and determination of those within the industry that have had to face many challenges due to the pandemic. We are looking forward to showcasing businesses who have met these challenges with their innovation and commitment. With technology playing a fundamental role within both the insurance and risk assessment sector, it has become a prime resource of the future of programming and the future of connectivity. Even with the rising cost of operations, businesses have continued to present a 24.15% increase as compared to the same period in the previous year – making it the perfect opportunity to be recognized. Becoming an award winner within the Global Insurance and Risk Management Awards 2022 can be widely beneficial as your company will become recognised on a global scale but is also a great way to demonstrate to potential clients and competitors what you have achieved. To create a level-playing field for all participants, our decisions are based on merit alone – not taking into consideration longevity, size or annual revenue of a business to determine the winner. Successful candidates are chosen by focussing on their reputation and determination to become successful in their industry. Nominees will be granted the opportunity to supply supporting evidence to our judging panel that they may feel plays a vital role in their company, such as a particular achievement or a prosperous business venture. Our in-house research team will also carefully analyse any publicly available information to build a casefile for you, using online sources such as company websites, social medias and customer testimonials. With a global circulation of 130,000 readers, Wealth and Finance International provide a substantial platform to take your company to new heights by promoting and celebrating your brand to a worldwide readership, with the potential to gain new audiences.

Private Equity and Venture Capital Awards (2024)

We are excited to announce that the Private Equity and Venture Capital Awards will be returning in 2024! After the success of last year’s inaugural campaign, the whole team here at Wealth & Finance International are looking forward to celebrating even more of the industry’s top performers, gamechangers, and disruptors. 2023 was a particularly difficult year for the Private Equity market – with deals, exits, and fundraising all dropping massively in value. The industry consequently began to stall, and this downturn can be explained by a sharp rise in bank rates and growing economic uncertainty across typically strong geographical markets. Despite these difficult conditions, as we entered 2024 the overall outlook began to shift in a more positive direction, as greater availability of financing allowed for more deal activity. A recent survey of PE General Partners illustrated this growing optimism, as more than three quarters of respondents expect a marked uptick in capital deployment over the course of the next year. Moreover, the survey also revealed that the vast majority of GPs similarly anticipate credit conditions will improve over the same timeframe. But this increasingly positive sentiment isn’t only a passive one – forward-thinking executives are also taking significant actions in multiple areas to boost productivity and accelerate recovery across the market. Innovative value creation strategies, proactive management of portfolio companies, and a focus on generating operating leverage have all been successful methods top funds have utilised to outperform their competition. Through the Private Equity and Venture Capital Awards 2024, we will showcase the very best of an industry that has consistently proven its resilience and ingenuity. In the face of economic challenges, the Private Equity and Venture Capital market has historically come out the other side even stronger than before, and this entrepreneurial spirit is a quality that deserves the highest recognition. Our team of experienced researchers and judges assess candidates for inclusion via a strict and unbiased criterion, whereby winners are selected based on merit and performance metrics rather than number of votes. We accept and encourage nominees across the whole PE and VC world, no matter the size of the firm or the industry it operates in. If you go on to be successful in the Private Equity and Venture Capital Awards this year, Wealth & Finance International will offer a plethora of marketing tools and advertising opportunities to effectively promote the award. With an international audience of over 65,000 professionals in the Finance, Investment, and Banking space, we provide a fantastic platform to gain exposure amongst key players and peers in the industry. Proudly not pay-to-play, there are no mandatory costs to take part in the Private Equity and Venture Capital Awards 2024. Winners are welcome to take advantage of the free-of-charge marketing toolkit or invest in higher-coverage advertising packages that include both physical and digital items to maximise the promotional value of the award. If you are interested in taking part in the Private Equity and Venture Capital Awards, simply click ‘Vote Now’ and follow the instructions to be in the running for 2024! Wealth & Finance International wishes the best of luck to all of this year’s nominees, and we look forward to announcing the winners soon!
