Overview

Introduction

Ranked as top wealth management trend on Twitter, the fast-moving and on-trend world of WealthTech, where the key focus is the wealth manager’s client experience, is full of innovation.

WealthBriefing – the global subscriber-based newswire – has been exclusively reporting on the family office and wealth management sector for almost 20 years. Over this period we have successfully run global awards programmes celebrating the achievements of the wealth management, private client and niche family office sectors.

There is a real demand for the technology partners servicing the wealth management industry to be publicly celebrated and rewarded for their achievement. For the past ten years we have included award categories for technology companies supporting the family office sector in the awards programme organised by WealthBriefing‘s sister publication – Family Wealth Report  – covering the North American family office space.

Forming part of the overall WealthBriefing Global WealthTech awards program, we are now in the second year of our WealthBriefing WealthTech Americas Awards 2023 program which gives prominence solely to WealthTech companies servicing the North American and Latin American family office and wealth management industry.

Winning an Award

Winning a WealthBriefing Award sets organisations and individuals apart from their peers. The award is a tangible demonstration that the winners have something special to offer, rewarding achievement and showcasing top class performance and innovation.

If your firm is successful there is a wide range of ways in which this achievement can be promoted, ranging from logos, editorial and website entries, social media postings, professional videos and entry into the Annual Winners Acclaim magazine.
