Magic Circle Awards 2020 | Citywealth | 1 October 2019 |

The Premier Awards for the Financial Sector

The Citywealth Magic Circle Awards have become an established presence in the wealth calendar. Each year the Citywealth Magic Circle Awards bring together the elite of advisors in the wealth industry as well as being an established event for philanthropists and the UHNW readership of Citywealth.

The Citywealth Magic Circle Awards bring together over 400 of the industry’s global elite representing over 140 organisations including the leading law firms, trust companies, family offices, tax advisors, investment managers and bankers in the wealth sector to recognise the achievements of the industry during the past year.

The evening is a unique opportunity to meet and network with the leaders in the advisory sectors and the UHNW clients there to help promote the causes close to their hearts.

It's being held annually in Spring to find the best advisors and managers in the global industry. Entries can either be by nomination from the global industry or companies can also send in detailed submissions. All entries for each category are then shortlisted as finalists by a judging panel featuring ten global industry experts. All voting is done online, which opens once the finalists have been announced.

It's an excellent opportunity to meet major private investors from a pool of the world's wealthiest individuals and their advisers and managers. It is also an ideal platform to promote expensive lifestyle offerings and make charitable appeals.
