The readers vote part of the Investment International Awards starts today with subscribers of II being given the chance to have their say in who wins some of the biggest awards in the prestigious II Awards 2024, which will be beamed live across the globe on October 10, 2024.

II Awards 2024 – now in its 25th year – is the longest running and among the most prestigious of awards for UK and international wealth management and the cross-border financial services and advice industry.

Shortlisting for the awards has begun and all shortlisted candidates for all categories (see full list here) will be notified in the next few days. Readers voting (see list below) takes place from today on here and on II's sister titleInternational Adviser. Judging on all awards will also take place across the next two weeks.

All votes will only be valid from subscribers to Investment International's newsletter. Click here to subscribe.

Any votes cast that cannot be cross referenced with the II subscriber list may not be fully verified and will therefore not count towards the end result. II Publisher Gary Robinson explained the process further.

Subscribers

"We are proud to have been able to allow our readers and subscribers the chance to have have their say in these important awards listed below and have had this element across the last five years of these awards. With rise of AI, online bots etc it is important that our awards are fair and have equal opportunities for all to be able to win.

"By ensuring that all votes come from registered II subscribers, we are confident that the right people are voting on these important awards but also are trying to ensure that it is one vote per person.

"For the awards listed below these are decided in two ways. 50% is via reader votes with the other 50% of the votes coming from our judging panel from the submitted entries from all candidates.

"We combine the results of both and have a readers vote winner and a judges vote winner. We then combine and ultimately get our overall winner."
