What is the assessment process?

Assessment will be by an Asset Management Council panel of adjudicators that are eminently qualified in asset management. The process for identifying the recipient will be by assessment of each nomination’s overall merit and contribution to the asset management community, as viewed by each adjudicator.

The final decision for each category will be by a simple majority of adjudicator’s assessments. Any material provided to adjudicators should be capable of email transmission; it will be held as 'commercial in confidence' and all copies deleted/destroyed on conclusion of the current awards.
