American Financial Technology Awards 2015 ─ All the Winners
The winners of the AFTAs 2015 were announced on the evening of December 7 at an awards dinner in New York.

This year's AFTAS, hosted by the diminutive (in stature only) yet inspirational ex-NBA player Muggsy Bogues, were held as usual in New York following the annual Waters USA event. This year's two individual awards ─ best technology executive (buy side) and best technology executive (sell side) ─ went to John Marcante of Vanguard Asset Management and Oliver Bussmann of UBS, respectively, while the final award of the evening for the best IT team was won by Morgan Stanley.
