The Buy-Side Technology Awards recognize the leading technologies and vendors in their area of expertise, through an auditable and transparent methodology underpinned by the input and experience of seven judges -- five buy-side-focused technology consultants and two of Buy-Side Technology's editors.
"Best Buy-Side Portfolio Accounting Platform" is awarded to the solution that best demonstrates the ability to support multiple currencies, transactions, and instruments (asset classes), as well as back-office connectivity, flexibility, and scalability.
