The shortlist and finalists for the International Adviser Global Financial Services Awards 2026 are now revealed below.

Voting is now closed for advisers, brokers and wealth managers who have nominated their favourite product, funds and services providers with all of the companies and individuals shortlisted given the opportunity to submit a short statement as to why they should win, which will be sent to the IA judging panel to decide on the winners.

For those that have been shortlisted as finalists (see below) CLICK ON the categories in this link on IA GFS Awards 2026 entry page to add any supporting statements (up to 500 words) as to why the judges should select you as winners or highly commended. Supporting statements are not mandatory for those that have been shortlisted but for those that wish to submit some additional information, they will be accepted up until 31st July 2026.

In these special awards – exclusive to International Adviser – the advisers and wealth managers in UK and around the world have now shown their support for their key partners and product providers by nominating their choices for all of the categories.

The winners will be announced via a live streamed TV video awards ceremony on August 11, 2026, which will also be shown at the IA 20th anniversary summer party event in London on the same day. All of those shortlisted will be notified on Monday.

IA Publisher and co-owner Gary Robinson, pictured left, said: “These awards are unique in the respect that companies, products and service advisers are not able to apply directly to enter. The industry decides who goes forward for these awards and those with the most nominations are then whittled down to provide our shortlist.

“Those that are shortlisted and those that ultimately win accolades will know that these will have been initiated directly from the advisers, brokers and wealth managers, which has some additional kudos and meaning attached to it as a result.”.

The finalists and shortlist of IA’s separate IA Advisory Best Practice Awards 2026 will also be announced next Monday July 20th here.

The winners of both sets of awards will be revealed via an online TV special which will be broadcast here on IA, at 5pm on Wednesday 12 August 2026.
