Nedbank Private Wealth has won Best UK Private Bank for a second year running at the prestigious City of London Wealth Management Awards 2016. The awards were announced in April at a Gala Dinner at The Guildhall, which was hosted by BBC news presenter, Sophie Raworth.

Greg Horton, Nedbank Private Wealth’s international executive head, said: “The purpose of the City of London Wealth Management Awards is to recognise and promote quality of service from wealth management companies and individuals. What is particularly satisfying is that the winners are determined by a public online vote and the poll is reviewed by an independent panel of judges. The fact that so many of our UK clients and contacts have made time to go online and actively support us speaks volumes about how much respect they have for us and how much they value our behaviours. We are so grateful to them and will continue to always strive to put their interests beyond all others.

“This award represents a strong, independent endorsement of our team’s ongoing commitment to providing exemplary service. It also reflects our unique integrated banking and wealth management service, Focus, which can be tailored to suit each client’s individual financial needs. Within Focus, clients can choose from an extensive range of financial services including international banking, global discretionary and execution-only investment dealing and settlement services.”

Stephen Pinner, managing director of Goodacre UK, the leading specialist business and technology consultancy behind the awards, said: “Winning a City of London Wealth Management Award is significant proof of distinction for the best companies and individuals providing services for private investors. The fact that winners are determined by individual votes is a huge endorsement for all winners.”
