*Entries From WealthTech Companies

In a change from last year, we are honouring the achievements of WealthTech companies in the region at the highly anticipated gala dinner in June.

The WealthTechAsia Awards 2022 will once again form part of the WealthBriefingAsia Awards process and can be entered here.

Judging

Independence, integrity and genuine insight will be the most important aspects of the judging process which will be conducted by an expert panel drawn from both private banks and trusted advisors/consultants.

To avoid any conflict of interest we are separating the judges 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.

Winning an WealthBriefingAsia Award is a tangible demonstration that they have something special to offer, rewarding achievement and showcasing top class performance and innovation.

Winners and 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 on 2nd June 2022.

WealthBriefingAsia – as the leading voice of the family office and wealth management community – will work with the winners to optimise their success by offering a range of marketing collateral.
