In Association with:

Now in their 27th year, Investment Week’s Investment Company of the Year Awards have a proud history of rewarding excellence in closed-ended fund management. These awards have never been more important as investment companies come under greater scrutiny than ever before, amid a wider discussion on how to re-engage shareholders and promote the benefits of these valuable vehicles.

The awards highlight outstanding managers in this important part of the market, who have delivered consistently strong performance for investors across a variety of sectors and the judges believe can continue to perform well in the future. Our shortlists for the awards are constructed using scores provided by the AIC, using Morningstar data.

Winners are then chosen by our judging panel after heated debate during our judging sessions, where qualitative factors will also be considered. The judging panel for the awards includes some of the UK’s leading researchers and investors in investment companies, with many years’ experience in the industry.

During the awards ceremony, we will be honouring our Investment Company Rising Star of the Year and this year's winner of the Jackie Beard Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Industry.

We are also introducing new categories this year for: VCT Provider of the Year; Investment Company Support Partner of the Year; Investment Company Analyst of the Year; and Investment Company Shareholder Initiative of the Year.

We hope you will join us at the awards ceremony to honour our finalists and winners. This well-loved event is also a great opportunity to network with colleagues and new contacts across the investment company sector.

Mission Statement

Investment Week is committed in the journey to becoming more sustainable. By using the guidelines set out by Ecovadis, we will be working towards the accreditation. The goal is to reduce paper consumption across events and improve recycling rates, curb food waste and alter menus with an aim to include locally sourced, organic produce. We have also committed to deliver carbon offsetting at events wherever possible and provide delegates with accessible venues. We will be closely evaluating each event and considering how we can improve in the following areas; energy, transport, water usage, recycling, economic and local environment/community.
