Overview
Introduction
WealthBriefing is excited to announce the launch of its 2025 European Awards programme.
Now celebrating its thirteenth year, and building on the long-standing success of its independent judging process, nominations for the Thirteenth Annual WealthBriefing European Awards 2025 are now open.
Having reported on the wealth management industry for nearly 20 years and being responsible for many research reports specifically covering the European wealth management market, WealthBriefing is well placed to oversee a process that fairly rewards achievement, top class performance and innovation.
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 and entry into the Annual Winners Acclaim magazine.
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 Process
There are three judging panels for the awards. A panel of trusted advisors who will be responsible for judging the family office and private banking categories. A second panel of family office and banking professionals will judge the trusted advisor categories and a third panel dedicated to judging the technology section. This is to ensure that commercially sensitive information is kept confidential and to avoid conflicts of interest. Each judge signs an NDA to ensure that all the information that they see in submissions remains strictly confidential.
Gala Dinner
WealthBriefing’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. A preview of what to expect on the evening can be seen here and this year it shall be held at The Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square in London on Thursday 27th March 2025.

About our Sponsors
Category Sponsors
ProFundCom helps financial institutions raise and preserve AuM using digital marketing analytics. ProFundCom has been built using expertise and best practice from within the financial services industry. Our marketing analytics focus solely on the asset/investment management space and offer an integrated solution across all digital properties. We understand email/web traffic patterns of investment management clients and how you can leverage these behaviours.
smartKYC’s AI software is used by banks to automate customer due diligence whether for remediation, onboarding, refresh or continuous monitoring; our technology drives faster, better, and more cost- effective KYC at every stage of the relationship – liberating human effort to focus on decision-making rather than laborious screening and research. smartKYC integrates all relevant KYC sources - external watchlists, media archives, open web search, private company data, internal blacklists and, like a human, it reads everything and extracts useful intelligence in the form of facts. smartKYC presents facts about risks like adverse media, but also provides insights into information like source of wealth, network risk and even ESG misdemeanours. Sophisticated hit scoring maximises relevance and minimises false positives. All of this is done at speed and at scale and, as such, straight through processing opportunities become obvious. In refresh or continuous monitoring mode, smartKYC watches only for net new risks as they emerge and never repeats what is already known.

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 siiri.piiroinen@clearviewpublishing.com
