The winners will be revealed during a gala dinner attended by around 450 senior industry figures on March 10, 2016, at the stunning Mandarin Oriental in New York. Click here for more details about the awards and tickets.

Recognizing high-quality service and achievement at the individual and institutional level is as crucial as ever for the sector, as the impact of forces such as aging client and advisor demographics, as well as regulatory pressure and technology innovation, becomes increasingly clear.
