The Alternative Credit Awards Europe 2026, hosted by Alternative Credit Investor, recognise 106 of the most influential fund managers, specialist lenders, and service providers across the European alternative credit industry.

Categories include Fund Manager of the Year, Fund of the Year, ABF Manager of the year and Peer-Peer lender of the year. There are also multiple accolades for fund administrators and technology providers.

The shortlist and winners are decided by Alternative Credit Investor’s editorial team and a panel of independent judges. The winners will be announced on 17 November 2026 at The Brewery in London.

“I’m delighted with the high quality of submissions we received this year from over 100 firms,” said ACI’s news editor Aysha Gilmore. “We received a huge variety of entries, and the competition was very strong.”

“I’d encourage all stakeholders to attend the awards ceremony in November for the opportunity to network with peers across the industry, as well as the enjoyment of what is set to be a fabulous evening.

“It’s the only dedicated awards event for the industry in the UK and is a fantastic way to celebrate the alternative credit sector’s stellar achievements.”
