Prêmio Outliers InfoMoney 2026: entenda como será a votação
Audio Brief
Show transcript
This episode outlines the structure and timeline for the second edition of the Outliers InfoMoney awards, Brazil's premier recognition for the investment fund market.
There are three key takeaways. First, the awards employ a bifurcated voting structure splitting influence between public sentiment and industry peer review. Second, a strict methodology validated by industry experts determines the nominees. Third, institutional voting relies on rigorous security protocols to ensure integrity.
The voting process distinguishes between categories open to the general public, such as the Best Manager popular vote, and technical categories reserved for industry peers covering sixteen distinct segments like Fixed Income and Equities. Nominees were selected by a Curator Council rather than random entry, ensuring high credibility. Crucially, fund managers must use a unique, parameterized link sent to their institutional emails to cast their single allotted vote.
Managers listed in the Anbima ranking must complete their voting by the strict deadline of January 20th to influence the results announced later this month.
Episode Overview
- This episode outlines the structure and timeline for the second edition of the "Outliers InfoMoney" awards, often referred to as the "Oscars of Assets" in Brazil, which honors excellence in the investment fund market.
- The discussion details the voting process, distinguishing between categories open to the general public and those reserved for industry peers, covering 16 distinct categories such as Fixed Income, Multimarket, and Equities.
- Listeners are guided through the strict methodology used to select nominees and provided with specific instructions on how fund managers can exercise their institutional votes before the January 20th deadline.
Key Concepts
- Bifurcated Voting Structure: The awards utilize a two-pronged approach to determine winners. The "Popular Vote" allows the general investing public to select the "Best Manager," ensuring market sentiment is represented. Conversely, technical categories rely on a peer-review system where fund managers vote for one another, ensuring industry expertise drives the selection of technical awards.
- Curated Nomination Methodology: The nominees (the "Outliers") were not selected at random but were determined by a Curator Council. This body applied a specific methodology and criteria across different segments, validated by a technical council and industry experts from organizations like Anbima and ABVCAP, to ensure the credibility of the candidates.
- Institutional Voting Security: To maintain the integrity of the peer-to-peer voting process (for categories like Best Manager 2025, Alternative, and International), the system uses a "parameterized unique link." This link is sent only to the institutional email of eligible managers listed in the Anbima ranking, allowing for exactly one vote per institution to prevent ballot stuffing.
