Overview

Introduction

Now in its eleventh year, the Annual WealthBriefingAsia Awards 2023 nomination process is now formally open.

Categories

For the 2023 Awards, the categories are again focused around these main areas:

    • Private Banking Categories
    • Individual Countries (within the South-East Asia region)
    • Investment Management Categories
    • Private Client Service Provision Categories
    • Individual, Leadership and Team Categories
    • Specialist Categories
    • WealthTech Categories

Judging

The judges are separated into a series of bespoke panels. Broadly bankers will judge the trusted advisor categories, and trusted advisors will be responsible for judging the banking categories. This is to ensure that commercially sensitive information is kept confidential and to avoid conflicts of interest.

Winning an Award

Winning a WealthBriefingAsia 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, professional videos and entry into the Annual Winners Acclaim magazine.

Gala Dinner

WealthBriefingAsia’s gala dinner is an opportunity for our winners to celebrate their success with their colleagues and peers. The ceremony is highly regarded, and attendance is seen as a must for all those lucky enough to have produced a winning entry. This dinner will be hosted on the 1st of June in Singapore.
