Bordier & Cie (Singapore), one of Asia’s foremost boutique private banks won a prestigious award at the WealthBriefingAsia Awards 2018. The triumph is yet another milestone in the company’s drive to be recognised as one of the pre-eminent players in the competitive private banking space. The bank first clinched the title in 2016, and won an award for Best Client Service – Private Banking category of the Awards in 2017.

Showcasing ‘best of breed’ providers in the global private banking, wealth management and trusted advisor communities, the awards were designed to recognise companies, teams and individuals which the prestigious panel of judges deemed to have ‘demonstrated innovation and excellence during 2017’. It was presented during a glitzy gala black-tie dinner, at the Westin Singapore.

Commenting on the firm’s triumph, Evrard Bordier, CEO and managing partner, Bordier & Cie (Singapore) said: “We are delighted to have been voted the winner of this prestigious award by so many of the industry’s best. We are thrilled to be recognised in these awards. The win is a testament to the hard work that the team have put in over the last 12 months. Everyone has really pulled together to ensure we continue to deliver the highest level of service to our clients.”

ClearView Financial Media’s CEO, and Publisher of WealthBriefing, Stephen Harris, was first to extend his congratulations to all the winners. He said: “The firms who triumphed in these awards are all worthy winners, and I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations. These awards were judged solely on the basis of entrants’ submissions and their response to a number of specific questions, which had to be answered focusing on the client experience, not quantitative performance metrics. That is a unique, and I believe, compelling feature. These awards recognise the very best operators in the private client industry, with ‘independence’, ‘integrity’ and ‘genuine insight’ the watchwords of the judging process – such that the awards truly reflect excellence in wealth management. I am optimistic that these annual awards will become one of the brightest highlights in the wealth management calendar.”
