Another successful year for Fairbairn Private Bank

Fairbairn Private Bank has celebrated another magnificent performance at the International Investment Fund and Product Awards, held earlier this year at a packed Victoria Park Plaza Hotel in London.

The awards recognise the very best international banking, life offices, fund management, structured products, health care and offshore centres, and saw a record number of entries from providers, helped by the inclusion of two new awards.

Once again, Fairbairn Private Bank won the award for Best International Private Bank Group and, in addition, also won a new prestigious award, Best International Wrap Provider. In making the awards, the independent panel of judges highlighted Fairbairn Private Bank’s extensive range of quality products and services, alongside its high client service levels and commitment to target market. In respect of the new award for Best International Wrap Provider, the judges were particularly impressed with the sophistication and flexibility of the bank’s Focus service, which enables complete integration and consolidated reporting in support of each client’s financial needs.

These prestigious awards, which cover all areas of financial services, have recently changed their name from International Investment Offshore Fund and Product Awards to simply International Investment Fund and Product Awards. The awards previously centred exclusively around offshore international players, however, this year the final listings were filled with a number of sizeable and predominantly UK entities. This has significantly extended their reach to a much wider audience, embracing the UK market rather than exclusively focusing on the offshore UK arena alone. They represent one of the most important events in the financial calendar and with fifteen outright wins and thirteen highly commended awards in the past eight years, Fairbairn Private Bank has amassed more awards than any other offshore bank at this prominent financial services industry event.

Greg Horton, Managing Director of Fairbairn Private Bank, who accepted the awards said, “We value these awards highly, as they represent an independent assessment by the financial services industry. Their independence serves to highlight that our distinctly different approach to serving the needs of private clients not only continues to be rewarded, but also acknowledges that the business is worthy of special recognition when measured against our peer group. This year that group was considerably widened with the inclusion of purely UK as well as offshore businesses and consequently the awards hold even more gravitas than usual. Despite our continued success, however, we never take these industry acknowledgements for granted and each year try to raise our efforts still further in support of our clients’ needs.”
