ABOUT THE ASIAN PRIVATE BANKER AWARDS FOR DISTINCTION 2019 Since 2011, the Asian Private Banker Awards for Distinction have set the benchmark for excellence in private wealth management in the Asia Pacific region. And just as the industry has evolved drastically over these years, so have the Awards, which now more than ever are recognised for the independence and rigour of the adjudication process, the calibre of participating institutions, and the global recognition they bring. The Awards for Distinction are designed to recognise private banks, institutions with private banking services, and, for select categories, independent wealth management firms for their achievements within a given year across categories spanning market segments, business and operations, client services, and investment solutions. This year, 120 submissions were made by 44 private banking institutions.
