Recognizing Outstanding Achievements and Industry Leaders
Showcase your hard work, dedication, and industry leadership – and that of your team – through recognition as an MMI Award Winner.
MMI helps our members to grow by advocating for the investment advisory industry and effecting change on critical issues. The following list is all the ways MMI Awards honor achievement.
MMI Member Recognition Awards
The MMI Member Recognition Awards honor MMI Member Firms that have gone above and beyond to broaden MMI’s reach within their firms.
The award winners are selected through an internal MMI review that gauges firms’ engagement across MMI’s Areas of Strategic Focus – Connect, Know & Grow. The MMI Member firms recognized have demonstrated a high level of engagement with MMI’s offerings by attending conferences, participating in professional development programs and communities, contributing quarterly data to the MMI-Cerulli advisory solutions dataset, supporting the Gateway Foundation, submitting articles to MMI’s Journal of Investment Advisory Solutions, and more.
Opening Doors Awards
Recognizing the Forces Behind Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
The Opening Doors Awards honor individuals, programs, and firms that dedicate themselves to making a significant impact in the financial services industry through diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. We celebrate those who share our passion for inclusion through their efforts in leadership, innovation, and a deep, proactive commitment to change.
MMI/Barron's Industry Awards
The annual MMI/Barron’s Industry Awards recognize innovation and leadership in the investment advisory solutions industry. The Awards celebrate outstanding achievement and honor firms that have raised the bar by delivering superior solutions for financial advisors and investors over the past year.
MMI Industry Leadership Award
