The IMAP Awards are recognised as the leading Award program for what is now a $300bn segment of financial services, honouring best practice in advice and portfolio management.
The awards cover both single sector asset classes and multi asset class programs delivered as either MDA portfolios or platform based SMAs.
The IMAP Licensee Award and Boutique Licensee Award specifically recognise managed account programs developed by Advice practices and licensees that are integrated into their advice process.
IMAP also recognises the two additional areas of Responsible Investing and Innovation within Managed Accounts.
The IMAP Awards take into account quantitative analysis and qualitative judgement.
