Some of the brightest lights in the wealth management world were honoured yesterday at Singapore’s renowned Raffles Hotel for the WealthBriefingAsia Singapore 2014 Awards.

Coming at a time of continued change and upheaval in the region, such as mergers and acquisitions, regulatory changes and political turmoil – attendees at the gala event had the chance to take stock of where the industry is going and who some of the outstanding practitioners in this field are.

The event, organised by ClearView Financial Media, publisher of this news service, was supported by the following sponsors: ANZ Private Bank; Appway; Asiaciti Trust; Association of Independent Asset Managers, ERI Bancaire; S&P Capital IQ Money Market Directories, smartKYC and Withers.

This is the second time that this publication has staged an awards event for Asia-based wealth professionals in Singapore. The inaugural Hong Kong-based part of the awards programme, meanwhile, will be held next week.

As ever, a crucial part of an awards process is the judging panel; this publication thanks all of those who have given time and attention to choosing the winners and arriving at a shortlist.

WealthBriefingAsia is delighted at the response shown to the awards programme and urges even more institutions and individuals to put their names forward for future events. Thanks for your support. The winners this time around are as follows:
