Samir Raslan Private Bank Head Middle East and North Africa said: “We are honored to receive these five awards from WelathBriefing MENA. These awards are a recognition of Citi Private Bank’s successful positioning in the region and showcase our commitment to offering our worldly clients customized private banking services that cross all borders.’’

ClearView Financial Media’s CEO, and Publisher of WealthBriefing, Stephen Harris, congratulated all the winners saying: “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.

That is a unique, and I believe, compelling feature. These awards recognize the very best operators in the private client industry, with ‘independence’, ‘integrity’ and ‘genuine insight’ the watchwords of the judging process - such that the awards truly reflect excellence in wealth management."

Independence, integrity and genuine insight formed a major part of the judging process. The judges were both private banks and trusted advisors/consultants in the Wealth Management sector who made the final decision based on feedback and their extensive knowledge in the MENA region for over 16 years.
