As banks look to boost revenues while dealing with an ever-increasing regulatory burden, private banking is taking on a whole new importance. Indeed, private banking is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the financial services industry worldwide. 

Best Private Bank 2015

In the December issue, Global Finance will publish its selections for the World’s Best Private Bank Awards 2015. 

Private banking pools are expected to top $70 trillion over the next four years. Analysts say emerging markets will account for a large chunk of that total. With the ranks of the affluent growing by leaps and bounds, that trend isn’t likely to change soon. The number of millionaires is forecast to top 16 million globally by 2016. That’s a 30% increase over 2013. Already, one in five Americans qualifies as affluent, and the number of high-net-worth individuals in markets such as Asia is growing rapidly.

Take advantage of this opportunity to participate in the review process.

It is not necessary to enter in order to win, but experience shows an entry increases the chance of success. In many cases, providers are able to present information and perspectives that may not be readily available to the editors of Global Finance.

Performance will be judged over the period covering July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.

Global Finance will also make use of market research and obtain input from industry analysts, corporate executives and other users of private banking services.

Submissions should be made no later than 29th September, 2015 and sent to:
