2022 Markets Choice Awards Finalists Announced

Markets Media Group is pleased to present preliminary lists of finalists for the 2022 U.S. Markets Choice Awards, which will be a special 10th-anniversary program.

The Instinet Positive Change Awards will headline the MCAs program for the fourth consecutive year. Outstanding contributions to the industry and to society broadly will be recognized for the categories of Sustainability; Philanthropy; Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging; and the Jerome Pustilnik Visionary Award, named for the late Co-Founder of Instinet who was a pioneer in electronic trading.

As per usual, last year’s Markets Choice Award winners were a distinguished group, including Goldman Sachs for Philanthropy; PICO for Best Company; AllianceBernstein for Best Buy-Side Global Equity Trading Desk; Cathie Wood of ARK Invest for CEO of the Year; and Anthony Abenante of Credit Suisse for the Neil DeSena Market Advocate Award.

The 2022 Markets Choice Awards will be held at the Loeb Boathouse Central Park in New York on the evening of Wednesday, May 4. Click here for more information about the MCAs, including previous years’ winners.
