Brief: MoneyWeek Awards Recognizes New Funding Platforms

November 13, 2014 @ 3:34 pm By JD Alois

August print publication, and associated web site, MoneyWeek, offered their first ever “MoneyWeek Awards” and alongside the traditional brokers and manager types a few new forms of finance made the list. The publication recognized two peer to peer lenders and a single equity crowdfunding platform as best in their class. The periodical states that “only our readers got to vote” and they did not solicit the feedback of industry insiders. The financial participants are titled the best in Britain and according to the MoneyWeek readers the following were tops:

Best P2P Lender Zopa
Runner Up P2P Lender – RateSetter
Best Equity Crowdfunding Platform – CrowdCube

So take it for what it is worth. Probably the most notably inclusion was the fact that new forms of finance are finally hitting mainstream recognition.
