23 July 2010

On Thursday 8 July, Euromoney announced the winners of its Awards for Excellence, the most prestigious awards in the global banking industry. HSBC Private Bank was awarded Best Global Wealth Manager, the only private bank given a global award, ahead of other nominees JP Morgan Private Bank and Credit Suisse. HSBC, Euromoney's best global bank in 2009, had another successful year, winning four global awards - more than any other bank.

Euromoney said "Nervous of volatility in the equity markets and uninspired by returns on cash, the wealthy have been seeking new ideas. HSBC Private Bank wins this year’s award for best global wealth manager because it has helped them find opportunities."

Commenting on the award, Chris Meares, CEO, Global Private Banking said "I was delighted to receive the award for Best Global Wealth Manager on behalf of everyone in HSBC Private Bank. This award recognises the many ways in which we have worked hard to deliver solutions for our clients around the world and the real commitment and professionalism of our people."
