Boardroom.media and East Coles recently entered a partnership affording Boardroom.media access to East Coles data.

The 2017 East Coles / Boardroom.media Corporate Performance Awards Night will be held at the Ivy Ballroom on Thursday, 21 September. The incredibly talented electric violin artist Jane Cho will be performing on the night along with other entertainment. All proceeds from the event will go to Transplant Australia. This prestigious annual event is voted on by around 60 prominent fund manager organisations across Asia-Pacific.

With performances spanning the globe from the Sydney Opera House to Wembley Arena, Jane Cho has played alongside artists f r om Michael Crawford to Mika and Snoop Dogg. Jane has also headlined world-class events for World Cup Racing, from Dubai through to London, and Australian Fashion Weeks.

2017 Top 10 Award nominees for Best Company, CEO, CFO, Board, Growth Prospects, Investment Desirability, ESG etc (not in ranked order) will be released throughout August & September in the lead-up to the Awards Night.

The East Coles Corporate Performance Research asks analysts f r om both fund managers and brokerage houses to score the S&P/ASX200 stocks they cover across 25 performance categories. The scores are then averaged to create league tables. The idea of the Research is to provide a feedback mechanism between the investment community and the S&P/ASX200 to enhance market efficiency.
