About the Awards

The World Finance awards panel, headed up by editor Alexander Redcliffe, used a wide range of criteria, and the critical eye of a collective 180 years of financial journalism to inform its decision over the most pertinent categories to include in the 2009 awards, and to establish criteria for voters to consider, such as innovation, originality and quality of product, as well as proof of market development and excellence in client representation.

The panel has been wary to avoid the danger of bias towards criteria such as depth of practice, size of company, international links and reputation, which in so many other industry awards skews the competition in favour of the larger firms with global networks, leaving the excellent work of smaller, nationally based firms and those operating in niche areas, unrecognised. The awards are designed to redress this balance, not to favour the smaller firms, but to publicly recognise that the services they provide are every bit as valuable to their clients as those of their larger counterparts.
