As usual, entry to the 14th annual Waters Rankings is free and firms may enter as many categories as they wish, on the condition that they provide capital markets firms with the technologies and/or services that typically make up each of the categories they enter.

Please note, however, that there have been some changes to how firms go about entering the Waters Rankings. If your firm would like to be considered for the short-lists that make up the Rankings survey, you must fill out an entry form for each of the categories you would like to enter.

This year, there are 30 categories on offer across five areas: Trading Services; Trading Tools; Data Management; Compliance, Risk Management and the Back Office; and Infrastructure and Connectivity.

The Rankings Process

The entry process is simple: Fill out your name and contact details, your company's name, and the name of the product or service you are entering. This should take no longer than a minute. We will then collate all the entries across the 30 categories and send out the survey to Waters' readership.

As with last year, the Waters Rankings awards ceremony is a lunch event, scheduled to be held in New York on July 14.

FAQs
Q: My company has entered the Waters Rankings on numerous occasions in the past. Do we still need to enter online and enter each category separately?
A: Yes, you do. In order for us to keep the categories as fresh/current as possible, it's important for firms to enter each category individually, and crucially, provide the formal name of the specific product/service they would like to be included in the reader survey.

Q: Why have you changed the entry process?
A: On numerous occasions in the past, we have been contacted by technology firms/service providers disappointed that they were not included in any of the categories that feature in the Rankings survey. Getting firms to register their interest in being included in those categories remedies this.

Q: Do winners have to pay to attend the awards?
A: Yes. The Waters Rankings now follow Waters' SST Awards, BST Awards and the American Financial Technology Awards in that firms are invited to sign up for winners' packages in order to "participate" in the awards. Typically these packages include on-camera and editorial interviews, write-ups published online and in the following issue of Waters, adverts, and photographs of team members receiving their awards.
