Fairbairn Private Bank retains title of Best International Wealth Provider
19 June 2012
Fairbairn Private Bank has been voted Best International Wealth
Provider for the fourth year running in the Professional Adviser
International Fund and Product Awards 2012. The awards, which are
in their 13th year, are judged by an independent panel of industry
practitioners and experts. There were over 50 entries for this
year's awards, coming from a wide range of companies in the
offshore sector. The bank also received a Highly Commended award
for Best International Service Initiative, having won this category
last year. These latest accolades mark a 12-year unbroken record of
winning achievements at these prestigious industry
awards.
The bank was acknowledged by the judges for its commitment to
training and development and evidence of commitment to its
customers and distributors. The judges stated this highlighted a
genuine interest and sensitivity towards client needs. In
particular, they liked the decision to widen access to Fairbairn
Private Bank's excellent discretionary investment service to
clients at a lower entry level through the introduction of UCITS IV
compliant collective investment funds. The bank was also credited
for its sharp eye on market direction and client needs which
underpins the recently announced business growth figures, citing
total assets up by over 17% year-on-year in the opening quarter of
2012.
Greg Horton, managing director at Fairbairn Private Bank, said:
"I am delighted that we have retained the title
of Best International Wealth Provider
for another year as it stands testament to the continued commitment
of our team and reflects strongly that we as a business provide a
secure home in which our clients can place their wealth. It's also
particularly pleasing to see our integrity, passion and commitment
to training and development shining through in the judges'
comments. This award unquestionably reaffirms our reputation as one
of the leading integrated banking and wealth management businesses
across the UK and British offshore islands."
With 21 outright wins and 17 highly commended awards over the
years, Fairbairn Private Bank continues to receive recognition at
these awards, which remain one of the leading accolades devoted to
acknowledging the achievements of the international financial
services industry.
