We are proud to unveil the hopefuls ahead of the most prestigious event on the HNW calendar – the Spear’s Wealth Management Awards
After a year of rigorous research and consultation with eminent judges, the Spear’s Research Unit is proud to publish the names that the private client world has been waiting for: the nominees for the Wealth Management Awards 2017.
Regularly attended by more than 500 of Europe’s wealth management heavyweights and HNWs, this year the event will be held on 7 November at The Dorchester in London, recognising the very best wealth managers and private client professionals in the business. Supported by headline sponsor Gaggenau, the night will be hosted by Sky News economics editor, Ed Conway, alongside Spear’s Magazine’s founder and editor-in-chief, William Cash.
Across 18 shortlists, Spear’s has nominated 82 of the most talented advisers across numerous sectors of the wealth management industry. From private banking to family office services, and a variety of lawyers across the legal spectrum, the night will bring a pool of the capital’s top experts with a collective experience of approximately 2,000 years in the highly niche and discreet private client world.
The evening will include the coveted Trusted Adviser award, with the highly respected tax advisers Elizabeth Henson (PwC), Mark Bridges (Farrer & Co) and Jonathan Conder (Macfarlanes), reputation law guru Mark Stephens (Howard Kennedy) and family office adviser William Drake (Owl Private Office) in the running. The anticipated Outstanding Achievement Award will be announced on the night.
Following the tremendous success of the 10th year of Spear’s, ‘the Bible of the banking fraternity’ marches into its 11th year with aplomb. Expect a celebratory night of networking, drinks and triumphs at The Dorchester, an eventful moment to praise the best of wealth management in London, and what these eminent professionals has to offer to the growing population of the globe’s elite.
