2023 Women to Watch Portfolio Manager of the Year – Investment News
Del Mar, CA - November, 2023
Kelli Burger was an excellence awardee in the Portfolio Manager of the Year program category of the Investment News Women to Watch awards program. The InvestmentNews 2023 Women to Watch Awards celebrate excellence and the women who are making a difference in the financial services industry.
This year’s Women to Watch Awards program featured a new independent judging panel and recognized both individuals (categories: allyship champion of the year, female trailblazer of the year, Alexandra Armstrong award for lifetime achievement in the financial services industry, portfolio management of the year, rising star advisor of the year), as well as organizations (categories: employer of choice, excellence in gender diversity and inclusion). Kelli’s awardee status was shared via an article in Investment News prior to the final stages of the awards program. The methodology used is outlined below.
Methodology and the awards program process consisted of 5 stages: Stage 1 – Nominations – InvestmentNews celebrates achievements that measurably advance women in all aspects of the investment industry, at employers of all sizes. Professionals were invited to nominate themselves or third-party candidates and / or companies who exemplify these outstanding accomplishments through their leadership, passion, creativity, and willingness to help others along the way. Nominations were open from July 18 – August 18, 2023. There was no fee to submit a nomination and only the online nomination forms were accepted. Stage 2 – Research. The Women to Watch Summit and Awards team conducted research and drew on knowledge and information gained through InvestmentNews to support and supplement nominations received and to ensure that no one deserving of recognition was missed. “Excellence awardees” (shortlisted Finalists), in each category, were determined from both pools of information. Stage 3 – Excellence Awardees Once all nominations were considered and research was complete, Excellence Awardees (Finalists) were selected in each category and notified via e-mail or phone. All Excellence Awardees were invited to finalize their detailed nomination form (“submission”). These submissions were provided to the judging panel for voting, remained confidential, and not shared with any third parties other than the judges. Excellence awardees were officially announced in September 2023. Stage 4 – Judging All submissions from the Excellence Awardees were forwarded to the independent judging panel comprising mortgage and finance industry leaders and senior representatives. The panel assessed and voted for their winners in each category according to the relevant category criteria. Voting began in September-October 2023 and their judgment was impartial, balanced, incisive and fair. Any judge with a conflict of interest in a category excused themselves from judging that category. Stage 5 – Winners Using a simple points system to aggregate judges’ votes, the finalist with the top score in a category was named the winner. Winners were announced at the event on November 7, 2023.
