Awards organisers, Holiston Media, are renowned in the industry for hosting a range of awards in the financial sectors. Comments Mike Boydell, Director at Holiston Media, “The Professional Trader Awards aim to uncover and reward those brokers who are leading the way when it comes to technology and performance tools, trading conditions, accounts and execution, low margin rates, loyalty programs and client relationship services.”

The voting period follows the four-week self-nomination period, which saw dozens of brokers put themselves forward to create the nominee list. There are 17 award categories in this year’s awards:

​

Best Client Relationship Manager Service

This award recognises the broker that is constantly striving to go all out when it comes to their professional client relations management service.  Today, all professional traders expect to have a dedicated account manager to support all of their trading needs, however, the winner of this award goes over and above when offering their client relations service.

In a nutshell, the winners of this award use CSR to encourage their business to improve the lives and situations of as many people as possible.

Best In-House Analysts

Knowledge is power in the financial markets.
