The shortlists for the Spear’s wealth management awards have just been published, and show a private client world in excellent health, writes Spear’s
It’s the most anticipated night of the private client calendar – a night of networking, champagne, and revelry. Hosted by Ed Conway, this year shall again see the great and the good of the private client world gather at the Dorchester Hotel on 6th November.
And now we know a bit more about the likely winners. Once again, Spear’s experienced a flood of interest in its awards, and after a rigorous selection process, has produced its list of those whose stars most shone in the private client firmament this year.
This year’s shortlist closely tracks our research in our industry-leading indices across the categories of Property, Wealth Management, Tax and Trusts, Family and Reputation Management. We also have additional categories in Philanthropy Advisor of the Year, as well as Family Offices Services Provider of the Year.

Our popular future leader award this year includes those who service HNWs in both the wealth management and the legal industries. Last year, the award went to Veritas’ Cordelia Bowdery but this year talented lawyers Lucy Gould of Stewarts and Harbottle & Lewis’ Chris Moorcroft are also eligible for it, reflecting the breadth of young talent across the private client industry.
We also have three special awards: our Philanthropist of the Year Award which was last year won by Malcolm Joyce for his work in relation to the Alzheimer’s Society; our Entrepreneur of the Year award which went last year to Angus Macdonald in honour of his immense contributions to business; and Outstanding Achievement of the Year award, which went last year to Gerard Tyrell of Harbottle Lewis on account of his contribution to the field of reputation management. All these will be announced on the night.
This is another exceptional list with both repeat nominees – both Stonehage Fleming and Citi Private Bank have a chance to lodge a hat trick of victories in the Family Office Services and International Bank categories respectively – and with exciting fresh talent coming through.
On the same evening, Spear’s shall also be launching its latest Spear’s 500, it’s market-leading guide into the private client field: the Spear’s 500 2019 shall be bigger and better than ever before, with new coverage on everything from cryptocurrencies and hedge funds, to nannies and advisors in the life sciences spaces.
