Trackinsight’s Role in the ETF issuer Shortlisting Process

Trackinsight employs a rigorous methodology to analyze and shortlist candidates for all ETF Express Fund Manager Awards, ensuring a data-driven and objective selection process. It follows these key steps:

1. Deriving the Eligible Universe: Identifying ETFs that were available during the one-year observation period.
2. Adjusting Categories and Sizes: Defining ETF categories (e.g., Equity ETFs, Active ETFs, ESG ETFs) and determining size segments (e.g., USD 100M–USD 1B, USD 1B–USD 5B).
3. Aggregating Category Averages: Calculating the Issuer Category Average AuM for each category.
4. Ranking Issuers: Ranking ETF issuers based on the AuM Relative Progression of their category’s AuM over the one-year observation period.
5. Award Voting: ETF Express organizes a vote among the top three issuers to determine the final award winners in each category.

By running this methodology on its proprietary ETF database, Trackinsight ensures transparency, consistency, and accuracy in identifying the most impactful ETF issuers across multiple regions.

How Service Providers are Nominated

While Trackinsight contributes to the shortlist of ETF providers, the service providers are nominated and shortlisted independently by ETF Express using their proprietary methodology.

The Service Provider categories follow a two-step nomination and voting process for the awards. According to ETF Express, the initial step involves a survey of industry participants to gather nominations for each category, where participants can also nominate their own company.

These nominations are then compiled and reviewed by the ETF Express editorial team, which creates a shortlist of Service Providers for each category. These shortlists are combined with the Issuer shortlists and put to a final industry-wide vote through a second survey.

In this second survey, voting is restricted to 10 internal votes per company. As the Service Provider categories require both nomination and voting, participants must engage in both surveys to maximize their chosen Service Provider’s chances of winning.
