Investment International sister brand International Adviser's Global Financial Services Awards 2025 shortlist has been released.
Across the last four four weeks advisers and wealth managers around the world have been nominating their choices for all of the categories of these prestigious awards and we are delighted to revive under the ownership of G&M Media.
Those shortlisted will be given the opportunity to submit a statement of why they should win, all collated for final decisions on the winners and runner-ups by the International Adviser judging panel.
The awards will be revealed via a TV special which will be broadcast here on IA on 20 May, 2025 at 4pm.
Mark Battersby, Editor-in-Chief, International Adviser, pictured left, who was part of the team at IA that founded these awards nine years ago, said: "It is really exciting to bring back the IA Global Financial Services Awards 2025. When Money Map Media was able to purchase this brand last year we were excited to bring back an awards were the nominations and shortlist is solely decided by our advisers, brokers and wealth managers.
"When we started these awards the idea was to reward excellence in the global cross border product industry to those that really go the extra yard in the advisers eyes. But also give the advisers the chance to highlight other companies and firms that they deal with such as international banks, trust companies, accountants, law firms, private health insurance, private banks and family offices as well.
"Congratulations to all shortlisted below and good luck!"
All of those shortlisted will be notified officially in the comings days.
