It’s time again to nominate and celebrate the industry’s most innovative asset owners and managers/servicers. CIO’s eighth annual Industry Innovation Awards will take place December 7 at the New York Public Library, celebrating the most innovative and talented players of institutional investing.
Please nominate asset owners and managers/servicers for this year’s awards. Nominations will close on Friday, August 4, and all finalists will be announced in early September.
This year, the CIO editorial team will consult an advisory board of CIOs, including Jagdeep Bachher of University of California Office of the President, Tim Barrett of Texas Tech University System, Robert Hunkeler of International Paper, Jacque Millard of Intermountain Healthcare, and Mark Schmid of the University of Chicago.
The lifetime achievement award, which Schmid won last year, will be presented at the dinner. An overall winner from the asset-owner categories will also be chosen and awarded CIO of the Year (presented last year to Barrett).
Our Next Generation Award is chosen the evening of the awards dinner, following a panel at the CIO Influential Investors’ Forum.
