Annual Awards for Closed-End Funds, ETF's & Analysts
(To be presented during the luncheon and will also be published in Barron's)
Within the context of the Forum, we also organize annually the Closed-End Funds & ETF Awards, aimed to identify and recognize those fund sponsors and executives who consistently apply high standards of financial disclosure, investor and shareholder relations and product innovation. The Awards are based on nominations by a committee of analysts and industry specialists who actively follow CEFs and ETFs.
We have also instituted the CEF & ETF Analyst Awards aimed to recognize those firms and individual analysts who contribute the most to the development of the CEF and ETF sectors with their research work. The Awards are based on nominations by a committee of industry participants from CEFs and ETFs.
***Note: Capital Link is not part of the Nominating Committee.
