Overview

Welcome

Family Wealth Report is excited to announce the launch of its 2024 awards programme.

Now celebrating its eleventh anniversary, and building on the long-standing success of its independent judging process, nominations for the Eleventh Annual Family Wealth Report Awards 2024 are now open.

Award Categories

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

You are now able to register your interest in submitting.

Judging Process

Within our global awards programmes, independence, integrity and genuine insight are the watchwords. The judging process is always conducted by expert panels and consist of judges from family offices, private banks, trusted advisers, consultants and other service providers each of whom has in-depth knowledge and a broad experience. For an insight into what can make for an outstanding submission a selection of our judging panel have offered their experienced advice.

Each judge signs an NDA to ensure that all the information that they see in submissions remains strictly confidential.

Awards Notification Process and Marketing Your Success

Winning a Family Wealth Report Award sets organizations and individuals apart from their peers and is a tangible demonstration that they have something special to offer.  It rewards achievement and showcases top-class performance, innovation and distinction.

They are also tangible demonstrations of the sustainability and robustness of your organization. Finalists will be given advance notification for their success, allowing time to prepare their marketing messaging around the promotion of their achievement before the public announcement in May 2024.

Family Wealth Report – as the leading voice of the family office community – will work with the winners to optimize their success by offering a range of marketing collateral.

Winning an Award

Winning a Family Wealth Report award sets organisations and individuals apart from their peers. The award is a tangible demonstration that the winners have something special to offer, rewarding achievement and showcasing top class performance and innovation.

If your firm is successful there is a wide range of ways in which this achievement can be promoted, ranging from logos, editorial and website entries, social media postings, and entry into the Annual Winners Acclaim magazine.

Tickets and Marketing Items and Benefits

The judging process is completely independent of the commercial arrangements between the participants and the organisers. Winners and commended firms and individuals will not know their status ahead of the public announcement on May 2, 2024. Finalists receive their finalist logos and other benefits when ordering tickets for the ceremony in May in New York.

The ceremony is a celebration of industry successes,  a great moment to network and meet each other in person. At the ceremony, we will announce the finalists per category, and all winners and commended firms and individuals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q) Does the entering firm or individual need to be a subscriber to The Family Wealth Report network?

A) No, this program is open to all firms and individuals active in wealth management or the family office sectors.

Q) Can my firm enter more than one category?

A)Yes, we encourage firms to enter as many awards that are applicable to their business.

Q) Do I need to use the submission form provided?

A) Yes, submissions shall only be accepted when using this document.

Q) Is there any upfront cost to enter?

A) No, there is no upfront cost to enter, but you will be offered the chance to purchase a winner’s marketing package should you be successful. The judging process is completely independent of the commercial arrangements between the participants and the organisers. However it is expected that when the results are made public, winners will engage with the organisers to promote their win and also attend the awards ceremony to accept their trophy.

Q) Is the process open to firms that are not currently active within the North American region?

A) The judges will only consider submissions from firms that are demonstrably active in the region. Please see here an overview of our global awards programmes.

Q) How do you ensure that the judging process is independent and impartial?

A) The Judges are independent of the award organisers ensuring they are divided into separate panels to avoid conflicts of interest. 

Q) Can you assure me that any details that I submit will be treated with confidentiality.

A) We only share submissions with the panel responsible for judging those particular categories. Furthermore, our experienced team ensures that there is no conflict of interest before they share an entrant’s submission with anyone. All our judges have signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Q) My submission is likely to be longer than the 1,000-word max limit. Would this disadvantage me?

A) We have set the limit out of respect to the judges and we are keen to maintain this to ensure that there is a level playing field between competing submissions.  Judges reserve the right to refuse to review submissions that do not comply. We also encourage against attachments to the submissions. 

Q) Do I need to submit a separate submission for each category?

A) You will need to do a new form for each submission and you should also ensure that this specifically relates to the category for which you are entering. If you are using the same answers for multiple submissions this could result in your entry being marked down by the judging panel.

Q) Where is the winner’s announcement shared?

A) The winners are announced publicly the day after the official awards celebration and this is via our editorial and social media platforms. 

Q) Can I speak to anyone on the team about my entry?

A) Yes, our experienced team is always available to assist you with preparation of your submission/s and any aspects of the process from start to finish. For any questions please contact either rachel.fokes@clearviewpublishing.com or siiri.piiroinen@clearviewpublishing.com
