Venture Capital Awards

Wealth and Finance International is proud to announce the launch of the Venture Capital Awards, being introduced for the first time in 2022! The goal of the Venture Capital Awards 2022 is to recognise the leading players in this field, whose expertise and proficiency in current investment markets and trends has resulted in strong profits, high growth, and technological advancement. After a decade of consistent growth in Venture Capital funding levels, culminating in a series of all-time high quarters throughout 2021, this year so far has seen a degree of pullback on investing value. While some industry commentors may interpret this as a sign of market decline, we at Wealth and Finance International instead see the potential for innovation in this sector. The Venture Capital industry is on the precipice of significant evolution in both the financing process and investment cycle, as seed capital is slowly becoming the dominant funding stage. Growing commitment to ESG-focused and sustainable investing methods is another influential factor shaping the Venture Capital landscape today. All sectors have faced various challenges since the start of the pandemic, but Venture Capital continues to be a robust and forward-thinking industry that encourages entrepreneurship, innovation, and development of emerging companies. Taking part in the Venture Capital Awards 2022 will provide a fantastic opportunity to promote your services to our international circulation of industry peers and potential clients, while cementing your status as a pioneer of the ever-changing Venture Capital sphere. This program will take into consideration firms of all sizes and specialties, even providing categories for individual Venture Capitalists who have experienced considerable success across their personal portfolios. Wealth and Finance International employs a dedicated team of in-house research specialists, who use publicly available resources to independently assess nominees, arriving at a final shortlist of recipients selected through our merit-based criteria. Proudly not pay-to-play, taking part in the Venture Capital Awards 2022 is completely free of charge, and Wealth and Finance International give all awardees the opportunity to accept a complementary package to celebrate their win. We also offer a selection of commercial options, designed to maximise your exposure across our platforms and get the most out of the award. No matter what level you are interested in taking part at, we wish you good luck in the Venture Capital Awards 2022 and every success in the future!

Retirement Planning Awards

Wealth & Finance International is thrilled to announce the return of the 2nd annual Retirement Planning Awards! Once again, we strive to honour and commemorate those whose work allows this crucially important industry to flourish. Candidates for the Retirement Planning Awards 2023 will include the entire spectrum of contributors to the pensions and retirement field. From the financial advisors who bring consumers reassurance and empowerment, to the pension plan providers and fund managers who facilitate retirement income generation; Wealth & Finance International is committed to celebrating all influential businesses in the industry. This also includes providers of technology that supports financial professionals in the administration of pensions and allows them to deliver a member experience which meets increasingly high consumer expectations. In light of recent developments in the pensions industry, the Retirement Planning Awards 2023 arrives at a fitting time. As global interest rates increase, purchasing insurance products for company pension schemes is becoming more feasible, adding to further security in retirement planning. Considering that most consumers believe employee benefits are their best chance of ensuring a comfortable retirement, this bodes well for member participation of workplace pension schemes. Furthermore, with the use of helpful pension plan schemes such as CDCs, accessibility in retirement planning is improving. This combined with the ongoing development of industry technology and the increasing savvy with which pension plan managers provide for their members, the Retirement Planning market is showing signs of firm growth and fortitude. The Retirement Planning Awards 2023 serves to showcase the professionals and firms which make this possible.

Global Insurance and Risk Management Awards

Wealth and Finance International returns for the second time with their Global Insurance and Risk Management Awards for 2022. These awards are here to celebrate the contributions delivered by both the insurance and risk assessment sector and all the hard-working professionals involved in it. We pride ourselves on being inclusive with our nominations, meaning all sectors of the industry are welcome to participate, from travel and business insurance to medical indemnity, and worker’s compensation – we aim to not limit the vast array of sectors in this field of expertise. It brings us great joy to be able to acknowledge the grit and determination of those within the industry that have had to face many challenges due to the pandemic. We are looking forward to showcasing businesses who have met these challenges with their innovation and commitment. With technology playing a fundamental role within both the insurance and risk assessment sector, it has become a prime resource of the future of programming and the future of connectivity. Even with the rising cost of operations, businesses have continued to present a 24.15% increase as compared to the same period in the previous year – making it the perfect opportunity to be recognized. Becoming an award winner within the Global Insurance and Risk Management Awards 2022 can be widely beneficial as your company will become recognised on a global scale but is also a great way to demonstrate to potential clients and competitors what you have achieved. To create a level-playing field for all participants, our decisions are based on merit alone – not taking into consideration longevity, size or annual revenue of a business to determine the winner. Successful candidates are chosen by focussing on their reputation and determination to become successful in their industry. Nominees will be granted the opportunity to supply supporting evidence to our judging panel that they may feel plays a vital role in their company, such as a particular achievement or a prosperous business venture. Our in-house research team will also carefully analyse any publicly available information to build a casefile for you, using online sources such as company websites, social medias and customer testimonials. With a global circulation of 130,000 readers, Wealth and Finance International provide a substantial platform to take your company to new heights by promoting and celebrating your brand to a worldwide readership, with the potential to gain new audiences.
