Overview

Introduction

Ranked as top wealth management trend on Twitter, the fast-moving and on-trend world of WealthTech, where the key focus is the wealth manager’s client experience, is full of innovation.

WealthBriefing – the global subscriber-based newswire – has been exclusively reporting on the family office and wealth management sector for almost 20 years. Over this period we have successfully run global awards programmes celebrating the achievements of the wealth management, private client and niche family office sectors.

There is a real demand for the technology partners servicing the wealth management industry to be publicly celebrated and rewarded for their achievement. For the past ten years we have included award categories for technology companies supporting the family office sector in the awards programme organised by WealthBriefing‘s sister publication – Family Wealth Report  – covering the North American family office space.

Forming part of the overall WealthBriefing Global WealthTech awards program, we are now in the third year of our WealthBriefing WealthTech Americas Awards 2024 program which gives prominence solely to WealthTech companies servicing the North American and Latin American family office and wealth management industry.

Winning an Award

Winning a WealthBriefing 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.

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 USA, Canada, Latin America or Mexico regions?

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
