Wealth & Finance Finance Awards 2015

Welcome to the 2015 Wealth & Finance, Finance Awards The finance industry has been a tough market in which to operate over the last few years, and 2015 has been no exception. Following a number of global catastrophes and economic crises, investors around the world have become increasingly cautious, and firms have found themselves having to evolve to meet their demands for more sustainable investment and greater application of ESG in mainstream portfolios. Diversification has also become a focus for investors, and firms have found themselves moving into new markets in order to offer a diversified portfolio. These new ventures into unchartered waters have provided many firms with exciting challenges as they adapt to these new industries and the difficulties they pose. However despite these challenges many firms have continued to thrive, working tirelessly to secure strong returns on investment for their investors. With this in mind, the 2015 Finance Awards were developed to recognise and reward excellence, best practice and innovationthroughout the industry, and were open to individuals and firms operating and working in a wide range of sectors, including personal finance, corporate finance, accountancy and financial management, reaching out to the four corners of the globe. To be named a Finance Award winner is no mean feat: it is not only a stamp of professional excellence, it is also a badge of merit, integrity and leadership, bringing together some of the biggest and most influential names in the financial world.
