EXCLUSIVE: Winners Of WealthBriefing Switzerland & Liechtenstein Awards 2014

Last night in Geneva saw outstanding practitioners in Switzerland's and Liechtenstein's wealth industry honoured in a gala event hosted by the publisher of this news service.
Luminaries from the private wealth management industry honoured
outstanding practitioners last night at the inaugural Switzerland
& Liechtenstein WealthBriefing awards, held in Geneva.
Firms including UBS, Credit Suisse and Julius Baer, among others,
were awarded for high performance over the past year, following
on from an extensive judging process. Around 250 guests in total
came to the event.
At the event, held at the plush setting of the Hotel President
Wilson on the shore of Lake Geneva, prominent news broadcaster
and journalist Matt
Frei, European Editor for, and a presenter of, Channel 4
News, and a former anchor of BBC’s World News,
presented the awards and explained the judges’ reasoning. As well
as presenting the awards, Frei regaled his audience with his
experience and insights over events such as the recent turmoil in
Ukraine - an issue likely to be very much on the minds of
international bankers in jursidictions such as Switzerland and
Liechtenstein. And on a very different note, the audience was
also entertained by the musicians from the group Electric
Strings.
The awards were sponsored by Appway, Aston Martin Geneva, BNP
Paribas Suisse, BRT, Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management,
smartKYC, Tag Heuer and Veuve Clicquot.
Bruce Weatherill, chairman of ClearView Financial Media,
publisher of this news service, told attendees that thanks to one
of the sponsors, TAG Heuer, the awards organisers had the chance
to recognise the work of Make-A-Wish Foundation of Switzerland
and Liechtenstein. Make-A-Wish is dedicated to making a real
difference in the lives of children aged between 3 and 18 who are
living with a life-threatening medical condition. Its aim is
simple: to turn children’s wishes into reality, making the
experience truly magical and memorable.
ClearView Financial Media would like to thank everyone who has
supported these awards and to all those individuals and
organisations that entered the event, and we look forward to even
more entries next year. To view details on the panel of judges
