Nominations are open for inaugural InvestmentNews Awards

investmentnews.com:

Another year, another awards show! InvestmentNews proudly presents the launch of our inaugural InvestmentNews Awards, and nominations for the top awards are now open.

The InvestmentNews Awards will attract financial planning and wealth professionals from all over the country in June to highlight the success of individuals who elevate their work, their reputation and the industry. We encourage you to participate by nominating yourself, colleagues, or organization in a variety of categories.

Catherine Avery, founder and CEO of CAIM and finalist in the Portfolio Manager of the Year category of the Women to Watch Awards in 2023, said she had recently moved to Florida when she was nominated and finds that she’s still receiving publicity from her nomination.

“There’s a magazine down here called Scene where they can do a whole two-page spread and they’ll come in, they’ll write about me and my firm, and it’ll be good to have that in there as well,” Avery says. “I have to do a lot of my own marketing … and it helps you kind of toot your own horn without being in somebody’s face. I’m just not like that.”

Avery added that the marketing she receives helps her attract not only new clients but also new female financial advisors in the Florida area as well.

“In the same way that I was impacted from a nomination perspective, I hope it brings visibility,” says Dana Wilson, founder and CEO of CHIP, who was also a finalist at the Women to Watch Awards in the Trailblazer of the Year category. “Not just to them and what they’re doing as far as their career, but any missions or higher achievements that they’re working on.”

Sponsored byInvestmentNews and organized by its parent company, Key Media, the InvestmentNews Awards will take place
