Recognizing Outstanding Teams & Talents

For more than two decades the STAR Awards program has been honoring the best of the best in the investment management industry. Teams from around the country are honored in three different areas of the business—retail, advisor and plan participant. This year, three new categories are being introduced to recognize the outstanding efforts of investment management firms during the pandemic. In addition, the prestigious Community Investment Award recognizes efforts to improve the lives of others. Every entrant receives an Evaluation Scorecard which includes valuable feedback to help improve future efforts. Serving as the annual benchmark of best-in-class, the STAR Awards program is an excellent opportunity to recognize your firm’s commitment to education. Just as importantly, receiving a STAR is a unique and fulfilling way to acknowledge the efforts of your talented teams as some of the best in the investment management industry.

Whether you are fortunate and are honored with a STAR or not, your entry will be reviewed by peers and you’ll receive formal feedback in six key areas. This valuable feedback is a way to have effective team reviews and a great way to highlight key needs or successes with management.
