Overview

WealthBriefing is excited to announce the launch of the second awards program highlighting the importance of External Asset Managers to the Swiss wealth management industry.

Building on the success of last year’s inaugural program, the nomination process for The Second Annual WealthBriefing Swiss External Asset Management Awards for Excellence 2022 will open on 23rd June 2021.

The award categories are focused around these main areas:

Swiss National
Swiss Regional
Team-Based
Products & Services
Technology (both In-house and External)
Individual and Leadership

As is the case for all our global awards programmes, independence, integrity and genuine insight are the watchwords of the judging process, which as always will be conducted by expert panels drawn from both custodian banks and trusted advisors/consultants to the sector.

Having reported on the wealth management industry for over 15 years and being responsible for several research reports specifically covering the external asset manager market, WealthBriefing is well placed to oversee a process that fairly rewards achievement, top class performance and innovation.

Winning a WealthBriefing Award sets organisations and individuals apart from their peers and is a tangible demonstration that they have something special to offer.

Whilst the judging process is completely independent of the commercial arrangements between the participants and the organisers it is expected that winners have a financial obligation to work with the organisers to promote their award and this obligation is separate to attendance at an awards ceremony if one is held.

We very much look forward to you joining the process and to welcoming winners to celebrate their achievement at the awards presentation event which is planned to be held at The Park Hyatt Zurich on 3rd March 2022.
