Now in its 12th year, the prestigious event celebrates outstanding contributions to investment research, investor relations, and sustainability reporting in the country.
The event is graced by various dignitaries from the industry from business leaders, regulators, professional bodies to charterholders, including Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka, Senior Professor Hareendra Dissabandara, and Chairman of the Colombo Stock Exchange, Mr. Dimuthu Abeyesekera, underscoring its stature in the national financial calendar.
Rashmi Peiris Paranavitane, CFA, President of CFA Society Sri Lanka, remarked,
“A flagship event in the CFA calendar, the CFA Society Sri Lanka Capital Market Awards brings together regulators, stockbrokers, analysts, CFA charterholders, and senior management of listed companies — all pivotal cogs in capital markets.”
This year, the traditional panel discussion evolves into an engaging fireside chat, offering an insightful conversation on market dynamics and economic outlooks in a more dynamic format.
The session features Dhananath Fernando, Chief Executive Officer of Advocata Institute, and Chayu Damsinghe, Head of Macroeconomic Advisory at Frontier Research (Pvt) Ltd.
The forecast quiz, previously a standalone segment, has also been integrated into this interactive session, enhancing audience engagement while delivering expert insights in an accessible format.
Awards will be presented in six categories: Best Stockbroking Research Team, Best Equity Research Report, Best Sector Research Report, Best Investor Relations, Best Unit TrustFund, and Best Sustainability Reporting, with Gold, Silver, and Bronze accolades under each category.
Organized by CFA Society Sri Lanka, the event reflects the Society’s mission to promote ethical standards, global best practices, and professional excellence in Sri Lanka’s investment industry.
