The Waters Weekly Wrap: January 25-29
A look back at the best content published across all the Waters brands.

It's the end of January, which means that the Sell-Side Technology Awards are now open for entry. The 2016 edition of the program will feature 28 categories, 26 of which are open for entry. (Best Overall Sell-Side Product of the Year and Best Sell-Side Technology Provider of the Year will be decided by Waters' journalists.)
Also, check out Episode 2 of Waters Wavelength, a weekly podcast produced by Dan DeFrancesco and Anthony Malakian. This week, they discuss developments around blockchain technology ─ and how the DTCC is looking to get involved ─ and they address StatPro's acquisition of Investor Analytics. Anthony also laments New England's Sunday loss in the AFC Championship game against Denver.
