Jersey’s credentials as a centre for international private wealth management have been further underlined after being named Best International Finance Centre for the fourth time in five years at the WealthBriefing Europe Awards 2017.
Commenting on Jersey’s repeat triumph, Geoff Cook, CEO of Jersey Finance said: “The consistency of winning this sought-after award is a testament to Jersey’s enduring focus on evolving as a jurisdiction, attracting new business from around the world, and of always pursuing the highest standards of regulation and cooperation."
“The fact that Jersey’s strengths in the areas of regulation and high quality financial services are being recognised in this way, year on year, is very encouraging and shows to investors and other stakeholders why Jersey is still considered a top International Finance Centre.”
The WealthBriefing European awards, now in their fifth year, are said to recognise and celebrate excellence across the European wealth management arena.
Former Channel 5 presenter, Emma Crosby, presented the awards during a gala black-tie dinner, at the Guildhall in the City of London.
ClearView Financial Media’s CEO, and Publisher of WealthBriefing, 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. These awards recognise the very best operators in the private client industry, with ‘independence’, ‘integrity’ and ‘genuine insight’ the watchwords of the judging process.”
