NEW AWARD WIN FOR FAIRBAIRN PRIVATE BANK

Fairbairn Private Bank has won an inaugural award, Best International Wealth Manager, at this year’s International Investment Fund and Product Awards, held on Wednesday 13 May at The Brewery in London.

Greg Horton, managing director of Fairbairn Private Bank, who accepted the award from Simon Evans, comedian and guest speaker, said, “We are delighted to accept this award as we have significantly developed our wealth management offering over recent years. We have excelled in difficult investment markets and feature extremely highly not just against our peer group, but also in a comparison against a relevant funds universe. The consistency of our performance in these awards serves to highlight our growing reputation as one of the leading wealth management brands across the British offshore islands. This latest recognition positions us extremely well as we now expand into the UK market with the recent launch of our London branch.”

Fairbairn Private Bank was shortlisted against Ansbacher Private Banking (Jersey), Kleinwort Benson Private Banking, Investec Bank (Channel Islands) and HSBC Bank International.

As well as winning this highly prestigious award outright, Fairbairn Private Bank was also highly commended under the Best Commitment to Service category. This is the sixth time in the past eight years that Fairbairn Private Bank has either won or been highly commended in this category and reflects the dedication and levels of commitment its team puts into servicing its client base.

In presenting these awards, the independent panel of judges highlighted Fairbairn Private Bank’s competitive range of services, commitment to service and strong service proposition. 

With sixteen outright wins and fourteen highly commended awards over the years, Fairbairn Private Bank has amassed more awards than any other offshore bank at this prominent financial services industry event.  The International Investment Fund and Product Awards, now in its tenth year, has become the premier and most respected awards event in the offshore calendar.
