The award ceremony was held in conjunction with a Roundtable Dialogue comprised of private bankers, impact investors, and related parties, at the Eko Hotel Lagos, Nigeria.

The Global Wealth and Society programme opened in London in 2018 out of the belief that wealth can be a force for good. As such we look for instances everywhere in the world where wealthy individuals, institutions and funds were targeted to make an impact in their local communities or the world at large.

The programme is predicated on the belief that the best financial institutions are able to understand and look after its client's personal aspiration as well as family and business interests through exceptional service, conducted with integrity, a deep empathy of its client's needs, and superior and timely product innovation resulting in the preservation and expansion of the client's wealth in their lifetime. Recipients of these awards underwent a stringent and comprehensive evaluation process.
