The wealth management industry will gather in Mayfair for the 11th Spear’s WMA Awards
The date has been announced for the 2017 Spear’s Wealth Management Awards – November 7 will see the crème de la crème of the wealth management world gather at the Dorchester in London for an A-list night of cocktails, networking and awards.
Sky News economics editor Ed Conway returns as the guest speaker for this year, alongside Spear’s magazine founder and editor-in-chief William Cash. Conway will compere the awards, with categories ranging from Entrepreneur of the Year and Philanthropist of the Year to Private Banker, Family Lawyer and Property Adviser. ‘The night will cover every aspect of the HNW world that matters,’ says Cash.
Now in its eleventh year, the event will likely be bigger and glitzier than ever, with each award keenly fought over amid an atmosphere of rarefied fun. The awards shortlists, based on the work of the Spear’s Research Unit, are devised with expert participation and a panel of judges picks a winner after a rigorous selection process.
