'demonstrated innovation and excellence during 2017'.
ClearView Financial Media's CEO, and Publisher of Family Wealth Report, Stephen Harris,
was first to extend his congratulations to all the winners. He said: "The firms who triumphed in these awards are all worthy
winners, and I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations. These awards were judged solely on the basis of entrants'
submissions and their response to a number of specific questions, which had to be answered focusing on the client experience, not
quantitative performance metrics. That is a unique, and I believe, compelling feature. These awards recognize the very best
operators in the private client industry, with 'independence', 'integrity' and 'genuine insight' the watchwords of the judging
process - such that the awards truly reflect excellence in wealth management.
