Global Custodian reveals Editors’ Choice awards shortlists for Industry Leaders in New York 2026

Global Custodian is delighted to announce its Editors’ Choice shortlist for the annual Industry Leaders awards to be held in New York at Chelsea Piers on 17 November this year. The Editors’ Choice shortlists go beyond the results of our flagship surveys into the products, partnerships and milestones achieved by the industry over the past 12 months. Across the shortlist, BNY and Citi feature most heavily, picking up nominations in four categories, respectively, while Apex Group, Northern Trust, TMF Group and FundGuard also draw multiple nods. This year’s Fund Services One to Watch spotlights four fast-growing names: Acuity Fund Solutions, Argo Fund Solutions, OpEff Technologies and Repool. A new Technology One to Watch category also debuts, featuring Arch, Lemonedge, Lumint Corporation and Dynamo Software. This latest shortlist follows the publication of our survey awards from earlier this month, which can be viewed by clicking here. The remaining awards to be announced on the evening include Innovation Awards and Individual accolades such as GC Legends and Lifetime Achievement.
