Nominations for Markets Media Group’s 2026 Women in Finance Asia Awards will close on April 10.
The event will be held as an evening gala at the Mandarin Oriental Singapore on May 21, 2026.
Now in its eighth year, the WIFAA program has come a long way since its inaugural luncheon in Hong Kong in 2019.
WIFAA honors the most talented and accomplished women across the full landscape of Asian financial markets — including buy-side and sell-side trading desks, institutional investors, wealth managers, securities exchanges, technology providers, corporate finance, venture capital firms, and fintech start-ups.
Last year’s winners included Satoko Kobayashi of BlackRock for COO of the Year; Ellie Lai of Instinet for Excellence in Legal & Compliance (Sell-side); and Sue Lee of Citi for Excellence in Leadership.
As with all Markets Media awards programs, nominees are submitted by our readers, with shortlists and winners determined by the editorial team in consultation with the WIFAA Advisory Board.
Nominate here by April 10.
