I’m sure you know, we already have some long-standing and highly regarded awards covering the international life products which are revealed each year at our Fundlinks event in London.
We felt it would make perfect sense now to add a host of new awards covering many other parts of the financial services industry, including international fund management group and retirement provider of the year.
These prestigious awards are for firms that offer cross-border products and services for advisers with international and/or expatriate clients. This inaugural event, demonstrates a unique proposition within this sector as the Awards are solely judged and selected by a carefully balanced blend of industry experts and leading international financial advisers.
Each category has a lead judge, a recognised independent expert in the field, who has worked with the International Adviser editorial/awards team to draw up a shortlist in their area of expertise.
That list is then submitted to the Financial Adviser Panel for review. The Financial Adviser Panel is made up of leading advisers across all the major domiciles and jurisdictions. The shortlist will be announced to the industry in early April.
Award categories cover:
- International Fund Management Group of the Year
- International Platform of the Year
- International Bank of the Year
- International Health Insurer of the Year
- International Retirement Provider of the Year
- Product – for a product(s) that is differentiated from competitors innovative and backed by consistent service and support
- Investment Strategy – for investment strategies that show genuinely creative responses to market conditions, consistent above average performance
- International Financial Centre of the Year – International Adviser Support Initiative of the Year
- International Product Innovation of the Year
- The International Adviser Award for Outstanding Individual Contribution

The winners will be announced on the evening of 12 May at The Waldorf Hilton, London in front of an elite group of VIP attendees from across the industry.
