Overview

Nominations to the WealthBriefing Swiss Awards 2020 are unfortunately now closed. However tickets have been released to all those wishing to attend this prestigious celebration of the wealth management industry in Switzerland.

We welcome not only shortlisted companies but also participants from the wider industry who are keen to network with their peer group.

For those new to the awards, the categories are focused around three main areas:

  • Experts (individuals and teams)
  • Products
  • Services for wealth managers and clients/institutions of all sizes and types

As in previous years, independence, integrity and genuine insight will be the watchwords of the judging process and will be conducted by an expert panel drawn from both private banks and trusted advisors/consultants to the sector.

To avoid any conflict of interest we have three independent panels of judges. A panel of bankers who judge the trusted advisor categories, a panel of advisors who judge the banking entries and finally a technology panel of experts.

Winning an WealthBriefing Swiss Award sets organisations and individuals apart from their peers and is a tangible demonstration that they have something special to offer, rewarding achievement and showcasing top class performance and innovation.

We very much hope to seeing you at the 2020 awards ceremony.

Key Dates

  • Nominations  – Now closed
  • Nominations close – 25 September 2019 (at midnight)
