Nominations are open for the ‘Outstanding Contribution to Industry’ award at the Insurance Investor | European Awards 2026.
Do you know an individual who has shown exceptional leadership, innovation, and dedication in the field of asset allocation, investment, treasury, capital, asset risk, or capital actuarial management in Europe over the past 12 or more months?
If so, we want to hear from you. Submit your nominations today – they’ll remain anonymous.
Following a competitive entry process, the European Awards winners will be honoured on 23rd September in London at the annual Awards Ceremony hosted at Sheraton Grand Park Lane.
What are the judges looking for?
The award winner will have shown exceptional leadership, innovation, and dedication in the field of asset allocation, investment, treasury, capital, asset risk, or capital actuarial management.
They will have demonstrated through a combination of factors such as professional accomplishments, contributions to the industry, and actions taken to evolve their own or their organisation's approaches.
This award is for one individual who has been based in Europe for all or most of the past 12-months.
We encourage nominations of individuals outside of your organisation. You can nominate more than one individual.
Once all nominations have been received, a representative of the organiser, Clear Path Analysis, will tally all nominations, and if one person gets the most votes, then that person will be the winner. If not, we’ll ask our awards Judges to put the nominations in first, second, and third preference with a scoring of:
1 point for being on the short list of three – person with the most points wins
If still equal, first getting 5 points, second getting 3, and third getting 1 point, with the person with the most votes winning, unless equal.
Should there still be equal votes, then the Chief Executive Officer of Clear Path Analysis will choose the winner based on the reasons given for their nomination.
Previous winners
Last year’s winner, Anne de Clermont, Chief Investment Officer for the UK and Ireland at AXA, won the Outstanding Individual Contribution to the Insurance Asset Management Industry at the recent Insurance Investor | European Awards 2025.
In an exclusive interview with Insurance Investor afterwards, de Clermont discussed what had driven her commitment to financing the net-zero transition in a way that balances decarbonisation with societal impact.
At our North American awards, Ned Gaffney, Chief Investment Officer, Sagicor North America, took home the prize.
He spoke about how insurers can balance growth, risk, and regulation while maintaining capital efficiency.
The 2025 recipient will have big shoes to fill.
