Overview

A warm welcome to the Inaugural WealthBriefing Channel Islands Awards 2022, the latest addition to the WealthBriefing global awards programme. Independently judged by teams of experts, these new awards will be bestowed on the brightest and best amongst the Channel Islands’ world-renowned wealth management professionals – both teams and individuals. With the backing of the WealthBriefing pedigree for independence and genuine insight, winning a WealthBriefing Channel Islands award gives exposure not only locally but in all the major wealth management jurisdictions in which WealthBriefing operates.

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

Judging

There are two judging panels for the awards.

This is to ensure that at all times commercially sensitive information is kept confidential and to avoid conflicts of interest.

  • Panel of trusted advisors who will be responsible for judging the family office, private banking and investment categories.
  • Panel of family office and banking professionals judge the trusted advisor and technology categories.

We very much hope you take part and look forward to seeing you at the 2022 Awards Ceremony which this year will be held in Jersey.
