NOMINATION DEADLINE: WEDNESDAY MARCH 15

 

Markets Media Group is pleased to present the 11th annual US Markets Choice Awards, which will take place on the evening of Wednesday, May 3, 2023, at the iconic Tavern on the Green in New York City.

 

From the inaugural MCAs event in 2013, Markets Media built its awards program as a differentiated and unique event to recognize – and celebrate – the best of the best in capital markets trading and technology. “Not your father’s awards event” was how one attendee termed it – step one was to get the right senior people and influential firms represented, to establish credibility, gravitas and buzz. Once that was in place, our formula was to make the event as fun, lively and memorable as possible.

 

The special 2022 10-year anniversary MCAs  encapsulated our awards program in one evening, as everyone was thrilled to be back in person after two years of mostly virtual events. Attendees had a great time, and top organizations such as BlackRock, T. Rowe Price, The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Citi, Credit Suisse and Nasdaq had honorees.

 

Individual winners over the past decade have included some of the most influential names in capital markets. Lee Olesky, Co-founder and CEO of Tradeweb; Barbara Novick, Co-Founder of BlackRock; Duncan Niederauer of New York Stock Exchange; and Bill Brodsky, then CEO of CBOE, have been just a few of the top names up at the MCAs podium.

 

Firms earning recognition have included buy-side institutions AllianceBernstein, Fidelity, Invesco, Liberty Mutual and T. Rowe Price; bulge-bracket banks such as Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, and Goldman Sachs; liquidity providers Citadel Securities and Virtu Financial; and global exchange operators CME, Nasdaq, and Intercontinental Exchange.

 

Over the years we’ve added new content such as the Instinet Positive Impact Awards, the Neil DeSena Market Advocate Award, and Rising Stars.

 

Our 2023 program will have the same theme of recognizing important sectors of institutional trading and technology: buy-side traders, sell-side execution desks, exchanges and trading platforms, incumbent technology providers, and emerging fintech firms. Our methodology in selecting nominees and then winners is simple yet thorough, and keeps the focus on the most important opinions: those of market participants, i.e. the colleagues, customers and competitors of the nominees.

 

We hope to see you on May 3!

 

About Tavern on the Green

A Central Park staple, the historic Tavern on the Green has been capturing the spirit of New York City since 1934. In 2014, co-owners Jim Caiola and David Salama (previously of Beau Monde and L’Etage in Philidelphia) re-opened Tavern with a completely redesigned space and menu that harkens back to the original landmark featuring warm, celebratory dining spaces, classic cocktails, a robust wine list and an elegant American menu. 

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.
