Risk Awards 2019 | Infopro Digital Risk (IP) Limited |

The Risk Awards are the longest-running and most prestigious awards for firms and individuals involved in the global derivatives markets and in risk management.

The judging process takes three months, from the submission of pitch documents, through dozens of off-the-record meetings, and concludes with a due diligence phase in which clients are canvassed (also off the record) for their views on shortlisted firms.

All decisions are made by Risk’s editorial team – and each decision is explained in detail in Risk magazine, and on Risk.net. Unlike the rest of our content, the awards articles are not paywalled and are free to read. Last year’s roll of honour, and the accompanying articles, can be found here.
