Global Investor/ISF is now accepting nominations for its Middle East Awards 2014 until August 29.

Asset managers and investment services firms are invited to nominate themselves.

Global Investor/ISF will also accept nominations from representatives (such as PR firms) or from those with a relationship with the entity (e.g. asset managers can nominate their pension fund clients or vice versa).

Multiple award submissions are encouraged but we request that you enter each submission separately. Submissions should be based on firms' performance over the last 12 months from June 2013 to June 2014. The word limit is strictly 200 words only per answer.
