The purpose of the City of London Wealth Management Awards is to recognise and promote quality of service from Wealth Managers and Stockbrokers. These Awards are unique in that the winners in each category are determined by the investors themselves, by voting on www.stockbrokingguide.com.

Firstly, firms will need to provide a written submission for each Award category they are entering and once a shortlist has been determined by an independent panel of judges, voting will take place. The Awards Presentation took place on 15th March 2012 at the Mansion House in London .

This event took the form of a Champagne Reception followed by dinner and the Awards Presentation. The host for the night will be the Rt. Hon. Michael Portillo.
