Disclaimer:

The annual Private Banking and Wealth Management Survey provides a qualitative review of the best services in private banking, by region and by areas of service. The survey is completed by private banks and wealth managers to identify the firms that they consider to be their top competitors. Participating private banks and wealth managers are able to access the questionnaire directly from .

Euromoney is interested in the views of senior private banking/wealth management staff with a perspective on the relative merits and demerits of their bank and its competitors. Voters identify the country about which they have the most knowledge then nominate their top three peers in that country in each category. Euromoney then awards four, three and two points, respectively to each of those nominations in that category and country. No self-nominations or parent/subsidiary company nominations are allowed.

The Euromoney awards were independently determined and awarded by the Euromoney editorial team. ۶Ƶ did not pay a fee in exchange for these awards. For more information on a particular award, please visit ubs.com/us/en/designation-disclosures.
