IJGlobal is pleased to announce the shortlists for the IJInvestor Awards 2024, identifying those organisations that are in the running for the top prize at the New York event.

Although in its sixth year, this the second year that IJInvestor will celebrate the Americas at its own event, after having received a record number of submissions.

Today’s announcement is purely for the awards that will be presented in New York on 5 December and is focused on the company categories. The transaction winners will be announced on the night.

The shortlist for the IJInvestor Awards recognising achievements across the rest of the world that will be celebrated in London can be found here...

The awards reflect the best infrastructure funds, investors and transactions from 1 September 2023 to 31 July 2024 – a transition year to align the judging better with the awards ceremony.

The Americas investor submissions were reviewed earlier in September by an independent panel of judges. We take pride in the peer review nature of our awards and all trophies handed out on the night are chosen by this established group of industry experts.

IJInvestor Awards 2024 – not to be confused with IJGlobal Awards (greenfield and refinance) and IJGlobal ESG Awards – will be celebrated on 5 December at The Metropolitan Club in New York.

IJInvestor Financial Adviser of the Year:

Some of the longer shortlists have been regionalised by the independent panel of judges. For example, in the legal category, there are winners for North America and Latin America.

Not mentioned here are the categories where the judges chose a single winner and so there is no shortlist.
