CEREMONY APRIL 22, 2021 AT 4:30 PM EST

 
Markets Media Group is pleased to present the 2021 Markets Choice Awards!
 
This virtual event, to be held in late April, will recognize the best of the best in capital markets trading and technology. From buy-side trading desks to sell-side banks, from global exchange groups to emerging fintechs, from incumbent technology providers to the entrepreneurs who seek to disrupt the status quo — the MCAs span the whole market ecosystem.
 
As we all know, the past 11 months have brought unprecedented challenges and hurdles that we all continue to overcome to keep markets running smoothly. In this difficult climate, along with everyone else, Markets Media had to pivot to virtual events, and we are very grateful for the industry support that made the 2020 Markets Choice Awards, and Women in Finance Awards programs in Asia, Europe and the U.S. so successful. Readers, sponsors, Advisory Board members, award nominees, award nominators — thank you all.
 
As we embark on the 2021 MCAs in the now-familiar virtual arena, MMG editorial staff has already been busy mapping out the categories and collecting feedback from market participants.
 
As per usual, the 2020 Markets Choice Awards winners were a distinguished group, which included State Street Global Advisors for Best Buy-Side Equities Trading Desk; Janus Henderson for Best Global Trading Desk; Bob Santella of IPC for CEO of the Year; Brad Levy for the Neil DeSena Market Advocate Award; and Thomas Peterffy for the Instinet Positive Change Jerome Pustilnik Visionary Award.
 
The 2021 program will include many familiar categories as well as some new twists, which we will announce as we move forward.
 
We eagerly hope to return to a semblance of normalcy sometime in 2021, when we can once again don our tuxedos and gowns and gather in person. In the meantime, as we continue to navigate the uncertainty, we very much look forward to continuing to recognize and celebrate the best companies, platforms, products and people virtually.
 
Once again, thank you to our readers, supporters, sponsors and Advisory Board members without whom none of this would be possible. We hope to see everyone on the screen soon.
 
-The Markets Media team

VIRTUAL HOSTS

The Jerome Pustilnik Visionary Award is named for Jerry Pustilnik, Co-Founder of Instinet and a pioneer in computerized stock trading. The Visionary Award is one of four Instinet Positive Change Awards recognizing achievements with far-reaching impact. The idea is to showcase individuals and firms who go beyond just excelling at their day jobs to also be agents for positive change in the world around us.

SUSTAINABILITY

The Positive Change Award for sustainability recognizes the critical importance that sustainability has on our future, as well as the increased emphasis that the financial industry is placing on sustainability as the new operational best practices. Many firms and individuals are making their mark in establishing the sustainability of our industry, and we hope this award in some small way helps promote this vital cause.

PHILANTHROPY

The Positive Change Award for philanthropy recognizes who in capital markets demonstrates support for charitable causes in an extraordinary and/or influential way.

DIVERSITY, INCLUSION & BELONGING

The Positive Change Award recognizes those who go above and beyond to advance the cause of Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging in our industry.
