We are delighted to announce the winners of the FundTech Awards 2020 in partnership with Funds Europe. Watch the awards ceremony here:
These awards have been developed from the Technology section of the established Funds Europe Awards to reflect the increased importance of technology in the running of an asset management or asset servicing business.
Alan Chalmers, Publisher, Funds Europe who hosted the awards mentioned
“The aim of the awards is to recognise expertise, achievement and reward excellence. Our sponsoring partner brought these characteristics to the creation and judging of these awards. We would like to thank everyone who was involved from the outset which has enabled us to recognise the great achievements of the fund tech industry. Congratulations all the winners. It is fantastic to see such innovation taking place to keep our industry relevant”.
Jonathan Hammond, Partner, Davies added
“As experts in investment management technology, sponsoring these awards was a natural fit for Davies. As a lifelong technologist myself I was particularly pleased to celebrate the achievements of firms and individuals who have shown real innovation, collaborated to create something special or used technology in an exciting new way.”
The awards were presented during a virtual ceremony due to the current climate, but we hope to celebrate properly in the new year. Funds Europe will be publishing an Awards Supplement to record the achievement and promote the winners to our readers and wider industry.
On the winners, Clare Vincent Silk, Partner, Davies added
“Success can be a subtle victory. The leaders and teams who deliver complex solutions, transformation and change are often unseen – particularly when things go well. I was therefore delighted that these new awards recognise a standout instance of determined and successful leadership of change, achieved despite the odds in such an extra-ordinary year.”
