Channel Island firms win big at "the Oscars of finance"

Friday 17 May 2024


Companies from the Channel Islands received nine accolades this week at an annual awards ceremony dubbed "the Oscars of finance".

The Citywealth's 'Magic Circle' awards for private wealth firms this year held its 19th event in London.

The 2024 ceremony was hosted by BBC business journalist Declan Curry just a stone's throw from the Houses of Parliament.

The awards recognise the best wealth managers and advisors in the private wealth industry, particularly those who invest money with charities, private families and foundations.

The event also raised funds for Magic Breakfast – a charity that delivers free breakfasts every morning to underprivileged school children.

"With that, Citywealth is delighted to present the best of breed for 2024."
