Judges have arrived at a shortlist of potential winners of the Family Wealth Report Awards 2016.

Family Wealth Report is excited to unveil the shortlist for its third annual industry Awards program, celebrating professional excellence in the wealth management and family office sectors across North America.

Recognizing high-quality service and achievement at the individual and institutional level is as crucial as ever for the sector, as the impact of forces such as aging client and advisor demographics, as well as regulatory pressure and technology innovation, becomes increasingly clear.
