The Asset Management Excellence Awards - Middle East shine a spotlight on the asset managers who are redefining excellence across the region. From performance and strategy to innovation, sustainability, and leadership, these awards honour the firms and individuals pushing the boundaries of what's possible in asset management.

As the Middle East continues to evolve as a global financial hub, asset managers play a critical role in shaping capital markets, supporting economic diversification, and driving long-term value creation. These awards are designed to recognise standout achievement across asset classes, investor segments, and operational capabilities – celebrating both regional specialists and global players active in the market.

With categories spanning firm-wide performance, strategy innovation, ESG, technology, and individual leadership, the awards reflect the full spectrum of excellence in today's investment landscape.

Open exclusively to asset managers operating in or serving clients in the Middle East, the awards serve as a mark of credibility, innovation, and industry impact.

The awards open for entries on 19 June and will close on 19 September, with winners announced at the awards ceremony on 11 February 2026 in Dubai. Click below for more information on individual categories, how to enter and sponsorship.
