This year’s awards introduced four new categories: best buy-side management, best CEO letter, best IR impact and best sell-side management, bringing the total number of awards to 27.
At the ceremony – which was held on December 4 at the Conrad Hong Kong – companies and individuals competed to win two types of awards, research and nomination, both of which celebrate the success of those leading the way in IR in the Greater China region.
For awards-by-research categories, companies do not submit nominations but instead, analysts and investors cast their vote and provide feedback on which companies have the best IR programs in the region. In awards-by-nomination categories, companies can submit a written entry highlighting different aspects of IR that complement each award.
These entries are then evaluated by a panel of specialist judges. This year, they are:
- Stanley Choi, partner and COO, Prospervest Family Office Group and Wofoo Social Enterprises
- Janet Craig, founding partner, Endeavour
- Lorna Davie, president, IR club.ch
- Jeannie Ong, operating partner, investor relations, Temasek
- Thaddeus Pollock, head of equities, Mutual of America
- Gabriel Wilson-Otto, head of sustainable investing, Fidelity International
- Garnet Roach, deputy editor, IR Impact.
