Funds Europe FundTech Awards 2020

And the winners are...

We are delighted to announce the winners of the FundTech Awards 2020.

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, Sionic added: “As experts in investment management technology, sponsoring these awards was a natural fit for Sionic. 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.”
