Markets Media Group’s 12th-annual Women in Finance Awards will be held in November 2026 in New York.
Our flagship Women in Finance Awards program has established itself as a must-attend event and a premier annual gathering to recognize and celebrate the best women in the industry.
The 2025 WIF event, held at the iconic Plaza Hotel adjacent to Central Park, was truly exceptional, with top-notch nominees and sponsors and inspirational winners’ stories. Honorees included Betty Chen of Citi for the Mizuho Corporate Culture Award; Christine Lee of Liquidnet for Rainmaker; Francine Fang of Balyasny Asset Management for Excellence in Hedge Funds; Gergana Thiel of J.P. Morgan for Trailblazer; and Kelly Young of Acadian Asset Management for CEO of the Year.
The WIF program recognizes the most talented and accomplished women across the capital markets business: buy-side and sell-side trading desks, institutional investors, wealth managers, exchanges, tech providers, corporate finance, venture capital firms, and fintech start-ups. Nominees are put forth by readers of MMG’s two US-based editorial platforms, Markets Media and Traders Magazine, and shortlists and winners are determined by editorial staff, in conjunction with the WIF Advisory Board.
Please plan to join us in New York in November 2026!
