Awards Committee

A panel of institutional investment industry luminaries — leading figures from both the allocator and manager communities — will determine category finalists and winners, facilitated by The Allocator and informed by nominations.

Popular vote too often rewards the finalist who is most eager to campaign. Likewise, event hosts have an inherent conflict of interest in picking winners, which can slide easily into pay-to-play.

The Allocator turns instead to trusted experts, debating in confidence. If it’s good enough for the Nobel Prize, it’s fit for The Allocator Prizes.
