On December 2, for the first time, ai5000 will present our Industry Innovation Awards to the world’s top asset owners. Be they endowments, foundations, pensions, insurance, or sovereign wealth funds, we feel that these institutional investors deserve to be recognized in front of their peers.
What do these awards mean? They mean innovation — not just for the sake of it, but for the greater preservation of capital. They mean understanding, and acting upon, material risks in today’s markets. They mean long-term, consistent results — and establishing a solid foundation for future returns. They mean understanding the goal at hand, and marshaling all available resources to meet that goal. They mean many things, brought together within a small number of funds that can truly be considered Industry Innovators.
Nominations are open to all, and will remain so until September 10. Nominees will be announced October 1. Awards — for both asset owners and asset managers/servicers — will be given at a dinner at Chelsea Piers in New York City on December 2.
NOTE: The only information we require is the name and contact information of the nominator; you DO NOT have to nominate a fund in each category. Nominator information will be kept strictly confidential.
Categories for Asset Owners include:
- Best-in-Class Endowment
- Best-in-Class Foundation
- Best-in-Class Corporate Pension
- Best-in-Class Public Pension
