TAB Global Financial Markets Award programme recognises the competition amongst various financial market infrastructure participants operating in the dynamic pre and post trading landscape.

The programme is designed to be a repository of evolving best practices from which players operating in the financial market ecosystem can benchmark their own products and processes over the long term. It is based on a set of transparent indicators upon which scorecards are developed. Organizations under consideration must broadly demonstrate a clear track-record of excellence and commitment in the following domains:

This programme has been administered by TAB Global since 2001 and we have refined our evaluation process to reflect the rapid development of Asian financial markets. Winners are determined following an exhaustive evaluation of submissions along with on-site research and interviews conducted by our research team. TAB Global is dedicated to transparency and fairness that is evidenced through the various scorecards that we publish for all awards categories.

We encourage all participating institutions to address the evaluation criteria relevant to the project as the evaluation of the submission will reflect the degree to which this is judged to have been done.

The research team evaluates the submissions and conducts independent verifications to be able to complete the scoring for each element of the scorecard. This may include requests for additional information or interviews with key executives.
