Waters Rankings 2013 Voting Now Open

For the 11th straight year, Waters is tuning to its readers for a little help. If you work at a capital markets firm, we would like to hear from you as to which vendors you consider to be the best at what they do.

VOTE NOW!

This year we have 26 categories grouped into five sections: Trading, Trader Software Tools, Data Management, Compliance/Risk Management, and Connectivity.

We also have four newcomers this year: Best Cloud Provider, Best Big Data Technology Provider, Best Market Surveillance Provider, and Best Mobile Solutions Provider.

Vote on all 26 categories or just where you have an expertise. All told, it should only take five minutes of your time. Voting ends at midnight EST on Friday, June 7, 2013. The winners will be announced at an evening reception in New York in July and write ups will appear in the August edition of Waters.

As usual, voting is open to only those who work inside of asset management firms, hedge funds, brokerages, investment banks and exchanges. If you work at a vendor firm or a PR agency, you are, unfortunately, not eligible to vote ─ the Waters Rankings are for end-users only. You may, however, let your end-user clients know that voting has begun.

VOTE NOW!

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Anthony Malakian (anthony.malakian@incisivemedia.com) or call him at 646-490-3973.
