etf.com is thrilled to announce the finalist nominations for the 2024 etf.com Awards. In a record-setting year for ETFs, the etf.com Awards are back again to honor the most influential, innovative, and impactful global players in the ETF industry. 

These funds, issuers, providers, and esteemed ETF professionals were selected from a record pool of 1,400 nominations, swiftly outpacing last year’s quantity of nominations. Each nominee was rigorously vetted by the etf.com editorial staff to be presented to the seven judges, who were selected to represent a diverse range of expertise and opinion in the ETF industry. Winners from the 17 categories will be announced at the etf.com Awards ceremony, to be held at Tribeca Rooftop in New York City on April 17th, 2024.

A New Era of ETFs

The last year set new, ambitious horizons for ETFs. After remaining resilient through the challenges of 2022, 2023 saw stock markets surge, big returns on large-cap investments and hefty inflows to mainstay ETFs such as VOO and SPY. The decade-long struggle for a spot bitcoin ETF reached a fever pitch at the end of the year before receiving SEC approval early in 2024. 

The 2024 etf.com awards categories reflect a rapidly evolving industry. New categories for this year’s ceremony are the DEI Award and the Education Provider of the Year. This year’s finalists celebrate longtime industry mainstays, as well as highlight new and exciting players in the ETF field.
