Standard Bank Offshore Group is proud to have won an award at this year’s International Fund and Product Awards, which were held on 12 October in London.

This is the fourth consecutive year that the Group has won the Best International Structured Products Provider award.

The awards, now in their 17th year, are an established part of the offshore calendar and are held to honour and recognise groups who distribute financial products and services internationally.

Standard Bank Offshore Group won for its class-leading innovation in product design. The Group has continuously enhanced its benchmark structured deposit range in line with evolving client needs and expectations. The Wealth Quotient, a unique personal metric designed to capture life goals and develop financial plans to meet them, lies at the heart of the product design process.

The judges also praised Standard Bank Offshore Group’s service to clients, its innovative culture, the transparency and clarity of its charging structure and communications, and its strong emphasis on compliance and client protection.

Chris Berry, Global Head – Structured Products at Standard Bank Offshore Group, said: “We are obviously delighted that our structured products have been recognised at these prestigious awards.

“Standard Bank Offshore Group’s purpose is to build a more prosperous Africa by helping to grow, manage and protect the generational wealth of our clients – and capital-protected structured products are an essential component of this strategy. We form a core part of Africa’s largest banking group and our Jersey and Isle of Man offices have served 28,000 clients in 151 countries for over 20 years.

“Structured products continue to evolve along with the demands of our regulators and the needs of our clients and we remain at the forefront of these developments in order to exceed the demands of our clients.”
