Alts 50: Awards Dinner

Awarding excellence

Through the inaugural Alts 50: Awards rankings, we will chronicle the most influential and important allocators in the US as an evolution of The Allocator Prizes – and you can help decide who gets a spot on the coveted list.

When compiling the awards and rankings, judges will take into consideration tenure, amount of capital allocated or advised on, size of organization, and the individual’s influence within the allocator community.

Submit your entry for the Alts 50: Awards today.

The Alts 50 (Allocator)

We will publish the Alts 50 list in advance of the Awards evening. These rankings will be drawn from submissions and determined by our judging panel. The ranking’s Top 10 names will be announced on the night.

Randy Kim Prize for Fiduciary of the Year (Allocator)

For extraordinary actions in service the institutional mission & stakeholders. Often requires bravery and career risk.

Team of the Year (Allocator)

A group that may be large or small, but punches above its weight from the CIO to interns.

Team of the Year (GP/manager)

For a team that goes above and beyond in service of the institutional mission.

Partner of the Year (Servicer Provider/Manager)

For an individual that goes above and beyond in service of the institutional mission.

The following categories do not have a shortlist and winners will be announced on the night.

Lifetime Achievement Award (Allocator)

Often - but not necessarily - a CIO. Can be any leader at an allocator organization that deserves recognition for outstanding service.

Lifetime Achievement Award (Partner/Manager)

For someone trusted and admired by their allocator partners; a good person who does more than their business interests demand in support of mission-driven investing and of their community. Probably pays their taxes without whining.

Awards dinner venue

Rainbow Room

Perched above Rockefeller Center, the Rainbow Room has long been part of New York’s social and cultural fabric. Its sweeping views across Manhattan and timeless Art Deco design give the space a sense of occasion that few venues can match, making it a fitting setting for an evening centred around recognition, conversation and industry connection.

Our awards committee

A panel of institutional investment industry luminaries - leading figures from both the allocator and manager communities - will determine category finalists and winners, facilitated by The Allocator and informed by nominations.
