Financial News journalists claimed one award and came runner up in another at the State Street Institutional Press Awards on 22 November.

Deputy editor Paul Clarke took top prize for his reporting on diversity issues, while asset management correspondent David Ricketts scored accolades from the judges in the passive investment category.

Clarke was applauded for revealing the true dearth of female representation in senior dealmaking roles. Just 10% of top bankers in Europe are women, his research found, as he drew on exclusive interviews with leaders in the profession in search of solutions.

Ricketts has been at the forefront of coverage on the ETF boom in Europe, profiling some of the highest-profile executives in the sector.

The awards add to a string of other notable accolades received by FN journalists, including recognition at the recent Aviva Investors Sustainability Media Awards, the CFA UK Journalism Awards and previous State Street awards.
