Jersey has won the International Finance Centre – Editor’s Award at the WealthBriefing GCC Region Awards 2017.
The awards ceremony, held recently at the Taj Dubai, recognised companies, teams and individuals deemed to have demonstrated innovation and excellence during 2017. The awards showcased the best of breed service providers in the global private banking, wealth management and trusted adviser communities.
Commending Jersey, the judges said: “The scale of banking and investment fund activity, coupled with the sheer number of international agreements on information-sharing, as well as the high scores accorded it by entities such as the Financial Action Task Force and OECD, prove that Jersey is in the top rank. With stories from around the world showing why reputation is a precious asset, and easily damaged, this IFC has worked hard to protect it.”
Other Channel Islands-based winners included Nedbank Private Wealth for the Innovative Client Solution, and Northern Trust for Institutional Trust or Fiduciary Company – Editor’s Award.
Dubai-based Castellet Consulting founder Zoe Cousens, who is currently serving as Guernsey Finance’s Middle East representative, was also presented with the Women in Wealth Management Editor’s Award.
