n 25 October at the prestigious Savoy Hotel
in London, the buy-side, sell-side, technology
vendors and exchange operators gathered for
a memorable night at The TRADE’s annual Leaders in
Trading awards.
In a record-setting year, over 220 guests were in
attendance, including more buy-side traders than ever
before.
The Leaders in Trading awards ceremony aims to ac-
knowledge and commend the many moving parts of the
industry with the algorithmic trading awards, the buy-
side awards and The TRADE’s editors choice awards.
Deutsche Asset Management, Millennium Manage-
ment, Union Investment, Fidelity international and
Liontrust Asset Management were the winners in this
year’s highly competitive and much celebrated buy-side
awards.
Adam Conn from Baillie Gifford received the coveted
lifetime achievement award for his contributions to the
industry during his career.
Elsewhere, Kepler Cheuvreux, the London Stock
Exchange Group, Cboe Global Markets and RBC Capital
Markets were the standout winners, taking home multi-
ple awards each.
RBC Capital Markets won the customer support and
increased trader productivity, while Kepler Cheu-
vreux took home the execution consistency and price
improvement trophies from the algorithmic trading
awards.

business LCH was acknowledged with the innovation
in clearing prize, the exchange itself took home the out-
standing equities trading venue award and Turquoise
Plato Block Discovery won block trading venue of the

ceremony yet – marked the end of an eventful and
memorable year. As the industry prepares to be turned
on its head with the introduction of regulatory change
come January, next year’s Leaders in Trading ceremony
promises to be just as highly anticipated...see you there!
