The IFN Deals of the Year was established in 2006 and recognizes those who have participated in the industry’s most groundbreaking transactions each year. Financial institutions and intermediaries are invited to submit their chosen transactions from the previous 12 months, which fall under one of the carefully selected sectors. A panel of experts from non-competing organizations then sieve through all submissions during the elimination process until just one transaction in each category remains and is thus awarded the winner of that category.

Submissions are accepted during the month of December with the results announced during the first week of January

Launched in 2011, the IFN Asset Management Poll focuses on the rapidly developing global Islamic funds industry. With over 700 Shariah compliant funds and a combined value in excess of US$500 billion the Islamic fund industry is becoming a key focus for the investor community regardless of their faith. Polling takes place during July and August each year with the results being published in the annual IFN Asset Management Report in September. Surveys are sent to institutional investors, money managers, private bankers, investment analysts, treasurers and other recognized investors. They are asked to provide information on a number of criteria pertaining to the Islamic fund industry and also on their choice for best fund management companies and individuals in a number of categories. The surveys are collated, reviewed and the results published in Islamic Finance news.

Launched in 2011, the IFN Law Poll builds on the highly regarded IFN Leading Lawyers which was launched in 2008. Focusing on the Law firms, rather than the individuals as with the Leading Lawyers, the IFN Law Poll provides an annual guide to which legal entities are recognized amongst their clients and peers as the best in certain categories. Polling will take place during April and May with the results being published annually in the July IFN Legal Report. Polling forms are sent to in-house counsel and senior industry practitioners worldwide. They are then asked to provide their views on which firms they believe provide a superior service in the categories they have experience. After a lengthy due diligence process the results are published in Islamic Finance news.
