Recognising the institutions that own the capital, and the firms that earn it.

26 November 2026
Central London


WHO THE AWARDS ARE FOR

Presented by Asset Owner Network, recognise excellence across the whole of institutional investment: the pension funds, insurers, endowments and not for profits that own the capital, and the asset managers, consultants, professional trustees and administrators that earn their mandates. 

Twenty two categories span asset owners, managers and advisers, alongside two editorial honours decided by the Editorial Board. Whether you sit on the allocation side of the table or the delivery side, if your work moved the industry forward this year, there is a category for you, and nominating takes five minutes. 


THE DIFFERENCE 

Entry is free across every category. There are no paid entries, and sponsorship carries no influence over shortlists or winners. Judging is led by an independent panel, and shortlisted asset owners attend the ceremony as guests of Asset Owner Network. The result is a room, and a trophy, that carries weight on both sides of the market. 


THE NIGHT'S SECOND ACT

The ceremony also stages the unveiling of the inaugural Top 50 People in UK Institutional Investment, Asset Owner Network’s editorial ranking of the individuals shaping the market.
