Fondsfrauen Award

For the third time now, we want to honor women, men and companies that are particularly committed to gender diversity in the asset management and financial sector. We are looking for the "Company of the Year", "Role Model of the Year" and "Women of the Year".

New this year is the award for "Female Fund Manager of the Year". By creating this award, we want to make women visible in this influential profession. It supports our efforts to attract more young female talents to counter the persistently low number of women in portfolio management.

Take part! Nominate yourself, colleagues and companies that inspire you when it comes to gender diversity. Write a few lines and your application will be sent to the jury selection. Together with our media partner FONDS professionell, we will announce the winners in October this year. here The nomination period ends on September 3, 2021.

Company of the Year

We are looking for the company in the asset management and financial sector that has been the most ambitious with the promotion of women in the past year. For example, through in-house programmes, targeted training, promotion of young talents, changed job advertisements, equal pay policies or a new corporate culture.

Please do not use marketing talk when nominating. Please give us facts and figures, e.g. actions taken to increase the proportion of women in management positions, number of female promotions compared to the previous year, reach of the internal program, etc.

Woman of the Year

We want to award successful women for their outstanding achievements.
Women who demonstrate entrepreneurial success as top performers, e.g. sales increases, mergers or repositioning of companies, implementation of strategically important projects or similar.

Please give us an example of what your candidate has achieved. Please note: This is independent of your commitment to gender diversity. We honour gender diversity with the award for "Role Model of the Year".
