Our honorable Jurors for 2021

The Gatekeeper Forum

The Gatekeeper Forum is a sub-set of the judging process with four to six jurors holding a two-way conversation with the manager of a contesting strategy. The forum allows the contestants’ CIO or Portfolio Manager to showcase how they’re running a profitable strategy and respond to technical questions raised by the gatekeepers.

The Forum is a highly curated platform that connects both the buy and sell-side of funds and empowers gatekeepers from Private Banks, Institutions, Foundations, Single and Multi-Family Offices to look under the hood before they invest. Another purpose of The Gatekeepers’ Forum is to promote investment clarity and transparency. The interaction between senior fund house representatives and our jurors can reveal the underlying idea generation and philosophy of the contesting strategies from multiple perspectives, particularly from a qualitative and ESG perspective. Participants who are present at the forum receive Level III scoring points. Each juror has up to 10 points to allocate to each participant. Only invited jurors can select the sessions they are interested in. The forum was held virtually last year, with managers and jurors joining all over the world.
