Award Categories Announced
Categories for the 2025 IFR Awards have been announced and we are now inviting banks to submit their pitches.
You can see the categories and find out about the pitching process here.
Winners will be announced online on Wednesday December 17, 2025 and in the IFR Awards Supplement published with the weekly magazine on Saturday December 20.
Trophies and certificates will be presented at the IFR Awards Dinner, which will be held at Grosvenor House, London on the evening of Monday March 9, 2026.
Widely considered to be the premier event in the global capital markets calendar, the dinner will see over 600 of the most senior and successful investment banking professionals gather to recognize and celebrate industry excellence throughout 2025.
Now in its 31st year, this prestigious event continues to attract the capital markets’ most influential figures as they attend to collect their awards or simply to take advantage of the unrivalled networking opportunities that the evening provides.
IFR will continue its 30-year relationship with Save the Children by hosting its traditional tombstone auction to raise money for this worthy cause. The IFR Awards Dinner remains the charity’s biggest annual fundraiser, having raised more than £33m to date. As such, the dinner is attended by HRH The Princess Royal in her capacity as Patron of Save the Children.
