The Methodology
The Celebration of Investment Awards 2025 consists of 14 reader-voted categories and 5 company submission categories.
Reader voted category:
The Investors' Chronicle and Financial Times readers will be asked to complete a survey outlining their favourite platforms and service providers from the past year. They will evaluate them across several factors, such as range of services, affordability, and communication quality. This feedback will then be used to assign a final score ranging from 1 to 5 stars for each company.
Company submissions category:
Company submissions are assessed by a panel of judges from the Investors' Chronicle and Financial Times, selected for their deep knowledge of the sector. Judging is based on the criteria outlined in the entry requirements, and all entries must relate to activity from the past 12 months. Companies must be UK-based.

Investors' Chronicle (IC) is the champion of private investment in the UK. Our writers offer experienced investors the ideas and inspiration they need to keep growing their portfolio, as well as educational analysis and guidance for novice investors approaching investing for the first time. The IC's addition of investor education has helped to expand its readership to new audiences, while Alpha (its premium product offering), continues to provide more detailed and in-depth analysis to its core audience.
One of the Investors' Chronicle’s key differentiators is that we turn our analysis into practical, actionable investment ideas - we don’t just explain what’s going on, but offer guidance on what to do as a result.
