To receive this recognition for a third consecutive year reflects the consistency of our approach, our independence and the trust we build through long-term client relationships.”
Robert Fearis, Group CEO, added: “My congratulations to our Private Wealth division. This is an outstanding achievement that highlights the depth of our expertise and client service. Given the large number of submissions, STEP has described the competition as ‘intense’, so to be shortlisted again is a testament to the reliability, dedication and expertise of our global team.”
Chair of the Presiding Judges Stella Mitchell-Voisin TEP said: “The submissions were of a very high standard and the judges faced a considerable task this year to decide which entries should be shortlisted. Congratulations to the firms and individuals that have made the shortlist, they should all be very proud!”
Winners will be announced at a ceremony in London in September.
