IMAP Announces 2025 Managed Account Awards Winners

22 Aug 2025

From IMAP - Institute of Managed Account Providers

The Institute of Managed Account Professionals (IMAP) has announced the Winners of the 2025 IMAP Managed Account Awards across 9 categories.

As in previous years, the quality and number of entries continues to grow, a reflection of the maturity of the managed account market in Australia.

Toby Potter, IMAP Chair: “Managed Accounts have become one of the fastest growing parts of the advice profession because they provide advisers and licensees with a superior way of delivering better client outcomes that more closely align with client goals. We are seeing continued evolution of the technology and portfolio management capability in Managed Accounts”.

“We had more entrants this year than ever, and a wider variety of portfolios. We are demanding ever higher standards of ourselves as a profession and this is reflected in the standard of portfolio management from the asset consultants, investment teams and the advisers who connect these capabilities to each client’s own circumstances”.

“The IMAP Managed Account Awards are only possible because of the commitment of the judges who dedicate considerable time, and the benefit of their professional expertise, to assessing the many entries which we receive. On behalf of all the entrants I want to thank them for their efforts.”

The IMAP 2025 Managed Account Awards Category Winners are:
