Leading UK and Channel Islands Private Bank and Wealth Management group
Kleinwort Benson has been shortlisted in the 2010 ’FT and Investors Chronicle Wealth Management Awards’, in two separate categories. Having won the distinction of ’Best Private Bank 2008’ in the Awards’ inaugural year, Kleinwort Benson has once again been shortlisted for this most prestigious of accolades, recognising the Bank that
offers its customers the most outstanding tailored banking services.
As well as its nomination for ’Best Private Bank 2010’, Kleinwort Benson has been shortlisted in the equally competitive ’
Best Wealth Manager for Tax’ category, which recognises
outstanding advice on tax
efficiency and tax efficient products, helping to save clients time and money.
The FT
and Investors Chronicle Wealth Management Awards recognise the
"
very best of wealth management in the UK
" and
are voted for by readers of the Financial Tim
es and Investors Chronicle, as well as
a select panel of judges
. The Awards seek to
identify the best wealth and investment managers available to investors in the UK
by asking the
clients to rate the service they receive, by comparing performance and by interviewing managers.
Commenting on the nominations Robert Taylor, Chief Executive, Kleinwort Benson said:
"We were delighted when we won ’Best Private Bank’ in 2008, but to be nominated again in the same category for 2010, as well as in the ’Best Wealth Manager for Tax’ category really is an honour. It has been a testing time for all companies operating in the financial sector but throughout we have continued to put our clients first
in everything that we do. Their confidence in us as we work towards becoming the UK’s leading independently owned Private Bank is a tremendous endorsement of our work and the service standards we have set ourselves. We are all extremely proud to have the resounding support of our clients as demonstrated by these nominations."
The winners will be announced on 29th April at London’s ParkLaneHotel.
