Jersey has been named ‘Best International Finance Centre’ at the WealthBriefing Asia Awards 2018, underlining the jurisdiction’s reputation as a world-leading international finance centre (IFC).
Showcasing ‘best of breed’ providers in the global private banking, wealth management and trusted advisor communities, the awards were held at the Westin Singapore and recognised those which the prestigious panel of judges deemed to have ‘demonstrated innovation and excellence during 2017’.
Geoff Cook, CEO of Jersey Finance, said:
“I am delighted to see Jersey honoured once again at these prestigious WealthBriefing awards. Jersey is proud to be a leading IFC and it is encouraging to see that, as a result of working together with key stakeholders and forward-thinking service provides in our industry and across the Asian marketplace, the Island continues to be recognised as a world-class IFC.”
ClearView Financial Media’s CEO, and Publisher of WealthBriefing, Stephen Harris, was first to extend his congratulations to all the winners. He said:
“The firms who triumphed in these awards are all worthy winners, and I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations. These awards were judged solely on the basis of entrants’ submissions and their response to a number of specific questions, which had to be answered focusing on the client experience, not quantitative performance metrics. That is a unique, and I believe, compelling feature.
“These awards recognise the very best operators in the private client industry, with ‘independence’, ‘integrity’ and ‘genuine insight’ the watchwords of the judging process – such that the awards truly reflect excellence in wealth management. I am optimistic that these annual awards will become one of the brightest highlights in the wealth management calendar.”
