Financial News Journalists Earn Accolades at State Street Institutional Press Awards

At this year's State Street Institutional Press Awards, held on November 22, two journalists from Financial News were honored for their work. The event celebrated the achievements of individuals providing insightful reporting in the financial services sector.

Award-Winning Reporting on Diversity

Deputy editor Paul Clarke received the top honor in recognition of his impactful reporting on diversity issues within banking. His in-depth research and analysis threw light on the alarmingly low female representation at the senior deal-making level in European banks. His findings indicated that only 10% of these positions are held by women. Clarke's articles were noted for their exploration of the topic through exclusive interviews with industry leaders actively seeking solutions to improve diversity in the finance sector.

Spotlight on the ETF Boom

David Ricketts, covering asset management, received commendation as a runner up for his extensive coverage of the burgeoning ETF market in Europe. His stories typically featured high-profile executives and insightful perspectives on the growth trends and strategic direction within the ETF space.

The accolades for Clarke and Ricketts add prestige to the resume of Financial News, a publication already recognized by a number of other esteemed awards in the finance media landscape. They have previously garnered acknowledgments from the Aviva Investors Sustainability Media Awards, the CFA UK Journalism Awards, as well as past accolades from State Street itself.
