Investec Bank (Channel Islands) Limited was awarded ‘Overall Private Bank’ at the Inaugural WealthBriefing Channel Islands Awards 2022.
This latest achievement follows Investec’s success earlier in the year winning Gold at the Citywealth International Financial Centre (IFC) Awards for Private Bank of the Year for the Channel Islands and Isle of Man, an award, which Investec has been shortlisted again for 2023.
Showcasing ‘best of breed’ in the Channel Islands region, the WealthBriefing awards have been designed to recognise outstanding organisations grouped by specialism and geography which the prestigious panel of independent judges deemed to have ‘demonstrated innovation and excellence during the last year’.
Each of these categories is highly contested and is subject to a rigorous process before the ultimate winner is selected by the judges. It is this process that makes WealthBriefing awards so prized amongst winners.
Commenting on the firm’s triumph, Brendan Stewart, CEO said: “It’s undoubtedly an honour to receive this award, which is testimony of course to the hard work and dedication of our teams across Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man where we have continued to grow our business across all sectors and maintain our incredible high levels of service.
“Our purpose as a Bank is to create enduring worth – living in society, not off it. We support our clients to grow and manage their wealth through deep client relationships built on mutual trust and understanding. We help make the ‘out of the ordinary’ possible. This reflects that, to us, worth is about so much more than money and we are delighted that the judges have recognised that.”
ClearView Financial Media’s CEO, and Publisher of WealthBriefing, Stephen Harris, was first to extend his congratulations to all the winners. He said: “The organisations and individuals who triumphed in these awards are all worthy winners, and I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations to the winners and to those who have put so much work into each winning submission.
“These awards were independently and expertly judged solely on the basis of entrants’ submissions and their response to a number of specific questions, which were answered by focusing on the client experience rather than purely quantitative performance metrics. That is a unique, and I believe, compelling feature.
“These awards recognise the very best operators in Channel Islands wealth management, with ‘independence’, ‘integrity’ and ‘genuine insight’ the watchwords of the judging process – such that the awards truly reflect excellence in Channel Islands wealth management.”
