The fifth edition of the WealthBriefing Wealth For Good Awards arrives at a pivotal moment for the global wealth management industry. Across markets and jurisdictions, the conversation has evolved beyond whether wealth can be a force for positive change. Today, the challenge is how effectively the industry can deploy its expertise, influence and capital to generate outcomes that are both financially robust and socially meaningful.

Since the inception of these awards, we have witnessed an extraordinary maturation of the "wealth for good" movement.

What was once viewed by some as a specialist area has become embedded in mainstream practice. Philanthropy has become more strategic, impact investing more sophisticated, and environmental, social and governance considerations increasingly integrated into decision-making across private banks, family offices, asset managers, advisers and technology providers.

The organisations and individuals recognised through this year's programme demonstrate that purpose and performance are not mutually exclusive. They illustrate how innovation, leadership and a long-term perspective can help address some of society's most pressing challenges while continuing to meet the evolving expectations of clients and stakeholders.

Importantly, these awards celebrate more than successful outcomes. They recognise commitment: the willingness to challenge established thinking, develop new solutions and place stewardship at the heart of wealth management. Whether through pioneering investment strategies, transformative philanthropic initiatives, advances in technology or the cultivation of more inclusive and sustainable business practices, our finalists and winners exemplify what leadership looks like in a changing world.

The integrity of the Wealth For Good Awards remains central to their value. Our independent judging panels, drawn from respected practitioners and experts across the sector, bring rigour, insight and fairness to the selection process. Their dedication ensures that those honoured truly represent excellence and best practice within the industry.

This edition of Acclaim provides an opportunity to look beyond the award titles themselves. Within these pages, readers will discover the thinking, experiences and aspirations of firms and individuals who are helping shape the future of wealth management. Their stories offer practical insight and, perhaps more importantly, inspiration for others seeking to align capital with purpose.

As we celebrate the achievements of the finalists and winners of the Fifth WealthBriefing Wealth For Good Awards, we also recognise the broader responsibility shared by our industry. The decisions made today will influence not only investment outcomes and client relationships, but the communities, environments and future generations touched by the stewardship of private wealth.

On behalf of WealthBriefing and ClearView Financial Media, I extend my sincere congratulations to all those featured in this publication. Your achievements demonstrate that when expertise is guided by values, wealth can indeed become a powerful catalyst for good.

Thinking Big: How ABN AMRO Meespierson Turned Brand Into Strategy

W

hen ABN AMRO MeesPierson received the 'Marketing Initiative', 'Innovation in ESG', and 'NextGen Support' awards at the WealthBriefing Wealth For Good Awards 2026, it was more than recognition for a successful campaign. For Alen Zeljkovic, Head of Wealth Management Clients, it marked a pivotal moment in the private bank's evolution as an award-winning leader in wealth management, with dedicated NextGen propositions and ESG embedded at the core of its advisory approach.

“This recognition shows that our story resonates,” says Zeljkovic. “We set out to bring one private banking narrative to life across the Dutch private banking markets, rooted in trust and expertise, but shaped around the ambitions of today's clients.”

At the centre of that narrative is the platform Think Big, captured in a simple but powerful promise: “If you think big, you need a private bank that does too.”

It reflects a shift Zeljkovic sees every day in his conversations with clients. “Private banking is changing,” he explains. “Our clients are not just focused on preserving wealth. They are thinking about growth, family, business, impact, and the future.

They expect a partner who understands the bigger picture behind their wealth.”

Alen Zeljkovic Head of Wealth Management Clients ABN AMRO MeesPierson

With Think Big, ABN AMRO MeesPierson intentionally moves the conversation beyond affluence and status. Wealth is no longer framed as the end result, but as part of a broader story: one built on ambition, entrepreneurship and long-term vision.

This perspective strongly resonates with a new generation of clients: entrepreneurs, wealthy women and next generation wealth holders. As Zeljkovic notes, “They are actively shaping what comes next. Our role is to be relevant in that journey.

Personal, forward-looking and meaningful.”

The rebrand brings this positioning to life in both substance and style. Visually, the identity draws on understated luxure: calm, confident, distinctly premium.

Strategically, it is deeply embedded across every touchpoint: from client materials and digital platforms to offices, events and internal communications.

What sets the initiative apart is its consistency. Think Big is not just a campaign; it is a shared story embraced across the organisation. “A strong brand is not just about how we look,” says Zeljkovic. “It is about what we stand for. It gives our colleagues a shared language, and our clients a clear understanding of who we are.”

Winner • Innovation in ESG (Europe) • Marketing Initiative or Communication Strategy (Europe) • NextGen Support (Europe)

Internally, that clarity has helped align teams around a unified private banking strategy. Externally, it has strengthened the bank's positioning as both a trusted custodian of wealth and a forward-looking partner for growth.

For Zeljkovic, the award ultimately reflects something deeper than creative excellence. “It confirms that we are moving in the right direction,” he says. “We are building a brand that truly connects with our clients’ ambitions and that is where real value lies.”

In a world where ambition is constantly being redefined, ABN AMRO MeesPierson has shown that a private bank's brand should do more than keep up. It should lead and think big.

A global leader in private markets.

Investing in the Future of Private Wealth: How Ares Wealth Management Solutions is Driving Meaningful Impact Brendan McCurdy Managing Director, Global Head of Investment Strategy Ares Wealth Management Solutions

Winner • Outstanding Contribution to Wealth For Good Initiatives (Global Reach)

A

res Wealth Management Solutions (AWMS) has built its reputation on a simple but powerful belief: financial advisors and their clients deserve institutional-quality private market solutions supported by education, collaboration and longterm planning. As the wealth platform of Ares, a leading global alternative investment manager with $644B in AuM, AWMS is helping redefine how private markets can support improved investor outcomes within the wealth channel, providing core private markets exposure through durable income, diversified growth and tax-efficient real assets.

At a time when financial advisors are navigating persistent public market volatility, evolving client expectations and the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history, the need for differentiated portfolio solutions is great. AWMS has responded by creating a highly consultative, advisor-first model designed to help advisors build more resilient portfolios through access to private credit, private equity, real estate, infrastructure and sports, media and entertainment.

What sets AWMS apart is not simply product access, but its commitment to education. Through research publications, market commentary, live advisor engagements and ongoing educational initiatives, AWMS equips advisors with the tools, insights and confidence needed to better serve their clients in increasingly complex and volatile markets. AWMS’ Investment Strategy team works closely with advisors to deliver customised portfolio analytics, model portfolio support and actionable guidance tailored to investor goals and risk considerations.

This award reflects the collective effort of colleagues across the organisation who contribute to making a meaningful impact both internally and externally. Investment professionals, product specialists, client service teams and distribution partners work

together to ensure advisors receive not only institutional-quality investments and expertise, but also transparent communication, educational resources and ongoing strategic support. Internally, teams collaborate across regions and business lines to share market insights and develop solutions that address the evolving needs of the wealth channel. Externally, AWMS colleagues actively engage with advisors through conferences, regional strategy sessions and educational forums to help strengthen financial literacy and broaden understanding of private market investing.

This award represents more than industry recognition. For the business, it reinforces AWMS’s mission to deliver long-term value to advisors and their clients through education, collaboration and innovation. For colleagues, it acknowledges the dedication and collaboration that continues to drive the platform’s growth and impact across global wealth markets. For wealth management firms and their advisors, the recognition further validates the trust they place in Ares as a long-term strategic partner committed to helping them navigate increasingly dynamic markets with confidence.

The results underscore the success of this approach: AWMS has grown its semi-liquid private markets AUM from approximately $2B in 2021 to $72B as of Q1-26, reflecting strong advisor adoption and sustained client demand. Today, 80+ wealth management platforms globally offer Ares’ private market solutions – with 45 wealth manager partners offering more than two of Ares’ solutions.

By combining institutional investment expertise with an advisor-centric philosophy grounded in education and collaboration, AWMS continues to set a high standard for how private asset managers can contribute meaningfully to the future of wealth management and create lasting value for advisors and their clients.

Investing for the Future: The Evolving Success of Atomos and WTW Joshua Gennet Head of Investments Atomos Investments Limited

Winner • CSR Strategy and Implementation (UK) • Investment Performance (UK)

Embedding ESG Across Our Business At Atomos, ESG considerations are embedded in our investment philosophy, decision-making, and long-term strategy. A key differentiator is our strategic alliance with global financial services firm WTW, combining institutional investment expertise with a client-focused wealth management approach.

Through this partnership, we integrate WTW’s sustainable investing research and stewardship capabilities into our portfolios.

Their global team includes 20+ dedicated sustainable investing professionals, supported by wider resources across WTW, helping ensure consistent ESG integration across security selection, portfolio construction, risk management, and oversight.

Stewardship and engagement are central. Via WTW’s relationship with EOS at Federated Hermes, our portfolios benefit from active engagement on issues such as biodiversity, climate transition, human rights, and modern slavery. EOS oversees around £1.6tn in assets under advice and in 2025 engaged with 850+ companies on over 3,840 ESG-related issues.

The Power of Collaboration This year marked three years since atomos formed its strategic alliance with WTW, creating an opportunity to bring institutional-quality investment capabilities to retail clients. The collaboration enables us to combine WTW’s global scale and research depth with our commitment to delivering high-quality investment solutions that help clients achieve financial goals.

Our colleagues across atomos and WTW play a vital role in bringing this proposition to life. The alliance fosters collaboration, innovation, and idea-sharing, ensuring sustainable investing principles are not a standalone initiative, but an integral part of delivering better client outcomes.

A further source of inspiration is our connection to the Thinking Ahead Institute, a global research and innovation network founded by WTW. Through this network, we work with like-minded

institutions and access forward-looking research and innovative ideas that help shape the future of investing.

Balancing Long-Term Commitments with Innovation We believe strong long-term investment performance and sustainable investing are mutually supportive rather than competing priorities. Our approach focuses on building resilient portfolios that can adapt to evolving market conditions while recognising the growing importance of sustainability-related risks and opportunities.

As part of this commitment, we are continually evolving our investment offering and implementing new strategies designed to enhance client outcomes. One recent example is the addition of the Global Equity Diversified Index (GEDI), launched by WTW in conjunction with MSCI. GEDI combines diversified multifactor exposures across value, quality, and momentum with robust ESG integration, forward-looking climate risk metrics, and decarbonisation pathways.

This reflects how we continue to leverage our alliance with WTW to bring innovative, research-led solutions to clients while maintaining a strong focus on sustainability and long-term value creation.

The Impact of Recognition Winning consecutive WealthForGood Awards for Investment Performance and CSR is a significant achievement for atomos and WTW. The recognition reflects the strength of our innovative investment solutions, the effectiveness of our long-term approach, and the dedication of colleagues across both organisations.

Most importantly, these awards reflect external recognition of our investment approach, including our focus on long-term returns and the integration of sustainable investing principles. They also reinforce our commitment in continuing to innovate, evolve, and deliver positive outcomes for clients in the years ahead.

Embedding ESG into Practice: BDO Singapore’s Integrated Approach to Sustainable Wealth Advisory

B

DO Singapore, with over 650 professionals, anchors its Asia-Pacific Private Client Services (PCS) practice through a team of more than 100 specialists, supported by a global network spanning 169 countries, 870 offices and over 94,000 personnel. The firm advises highnet-worth individuals, families and family offices on complex cross-border tax, advisory and wealth structuring matters. ESG considerations are increasingly embedded, reflecting evolving client expectations and BDO’s commitment to long-term value creation.

Embedding ESG Across Strategy and Decision-Making At BDO, ESG is not a standalone initiative but an integrated framework guiding client advisory and internal operations. Anchored in its core values – integrity, responsibility and accountability – and its purpose of “People Helping People”, ESG principles are embedded across all levels of the organisation.

In client engagements, ESG is incorporated into family office structuring, governance frameworks and succession planning – areas where BDO has played a catalytic role in shaping Singapore’s family office ecosystem. By designing integrated structures aligned with governance, regulatory compliance and sustainability objectives, BDO enables clients to manage and transition wealth responsibly.

Governance is a core pillar. BDO integrates regulatory insight, compliance and risk management – including KYC and AML advisory – ensuring solutions are robust, transparent and aligned with regulatory expectations.

Driving Impact Through People BDO’s people are central to its ESG journey. Its decentralised approach empowers teams to lead initiatives aligned with firm priorities, resulting in over 1,000 volunteer hours annually and long-term partnerships with organisations such as Club Rainbow and Thye Hua Kwan Nursing Home.

Education remains a key focus. Through financial literacy programmes, BDO has

supported more than 500 children and youths, equipping them with essential life skills. Internally, ESG is reinforced through an inclusive culture, with leadership accountability, flexible work arrangements and a strong emphasis on psychological safety.

Balancing Short-Term Pressures with Long-Term ESG Commitments Operating in a dynamic environment, BDO balances immediate business needs with long-term ESG priorities. Its integrated advisory model – combining structuring, regulatory insight, compliance and technology – helps clients meet current requirements while building resilient wealth structures.

Technology plays a key role, enhancing efficiency, transparency and scalability in ESG-aligned advisory while preserving professional judgement.

Sustaining ESG Leadership Looking ahead, BDO Singapore will continue strengthening its ESG leadership through investment in people, innovation and global connectivity. By combining regulatory credibility, technology and advisory depth, the firm is well-positioned to support clients in an increasingly complex sustainability landscape.

Winning this award would reinforce BDO’s position as a responsible steward of wealth and trusted partner in sustainable advisory. It also underscores our commitment to continuous improvement, measurable outcomes and responsible innovation – reinforcing our role in shaping a more sustainable and resilient wealth advisory landscape, while deepening impact through stronger partnerships and regional collaboration. The firm also continues to deepen capabilities in sustainable wealth structuring, impact driven advisory and cross-border ESG solutions, supporting clients as they respond to increasing stakeholder expectations around transparency, accountability and long-term value creation while strengthening governance frameworks and delivering consistent, high-quality client outcomes globally.

Unlocking Effective Giving: How CAF Is Strengthening The Wider Philanthropic Ecosystem

C

AF exists to accelerate progress towards a fair and sustainable future for all. Operating in the UK, US and Canada, we sit at the centre of the giving world; acting as a trusted intermediary between donors, advisers and charities. As the UK’s market-leading Donor Advised Fund (DAF) provider, CAF accounts for over half of the UK DAF market in both gifts in and grants out. Last year, we distributed over £1bn to charities across seven continents and over 90 countries, helping donors navigate complex cross-border giving with confidence.

As a stand-alone charity, we differ from many of our peers because our work is wholly focused on maximising sustainable social impact on behalf of our clients. Responsible stewardship of wealth is central to that purpose and ESG principles are naturally embedded. We are guided by our values: acting with integrity, moving forward together and shaping change. For us, ESG is both an internal responsibility and something we can help advance through funding, investments and our clients’ own activity.

MARK GREER Managing Director Charities Aid Foundation (CAF)

Our colleagues bring deep expertise, energy and diverse perspectives, enabling us to provide tailored support for clients with a wide range of philanthropic goals. Whether helping clients support local causes or address global challenges, our advisers go the extra mile to help them realise their ambitions and deliver lasting impact for the charities they support. This work is strengthened by colleagues in research and public affairs, who help amplify the voice of the charity sector and advocate for policy that encourages more effective giving. Our research is widely regarded as a benchmark for charitable giving, helping to shape national debate and inform policy. Across CAF, we are focused on bringing together businesses, civil society and the public sector to build a more resilient culture of giving.

Collaboration is central to our work in advocating for a more resilient culture of giving in the UK to support the charity sector. We will continue to bring together donors, advisers, businesses and government to help unlock more effective philanthropy.

A key focus will be improving philanthropy knowledge across professional services. The Government has recognised the role of wealth advice in its recently announced placebased giving strategy, and we are ready to support this work in the coming months while continuing to build knowledge among advisers in our own network.

We will also use our global connections, including forums such as COP and Davos, to ensure philanthropy is on the agenda at major international gatherings. This includes drawing on the perspectives of our international network: a collaboration of trusted, independent partners with deep regional expertise.

Winner • Initiative or Program (UK)

Every day, we see how our work helping donors fulfil their giving ambitions contributes to the vital work of charities around the world. That impact is deeply rewarding in itself, but recognition from the wealth management sector is especially meaningful. Our team has worked hard to build strong relationships with professional advisers, and those partnerships are essential to our ambition of increasing charitable giving among high-networth individuals in the UK and globally. Winning this award recognises the dedication and expertise of our colleagues, strengthens our credibility with clients and advisers, and helps us reach more people who want to use their wealth for positive social impact.

Concentric Group: Winning on Truth Concentric has just won two global awards at the WealthBriefing Wealth For Good Awards 2026 'Investment Consultancy' and 'Research and Methodology'. What does that mean to you?

It is genuinely meaningful, because both awards recognise something we have never compromised on: telling clients the truth. Not a curated version of it, the full picture.

The investment industry has a habit of presenting high-level summaries that look reassuring but mask what is actually happening underneath. Our model is built to remove obfuscation.

The judges specifically highlighted your line-by-line due diligence.

What does that look like in practice?

We go further than most. We screen all holdings from investment managers, look through collective investment funds, and analyse the data. That regularly reveals positions clients aren’t told about, and that don’t align with their instructions.

We have seen charities with explicit ethical exclusions holding exposure to precisely the sectors they restricted, buried inside funds. The manager considered it an acceptable exposure. We did not, and the client took steps to remedy.

That must be a difficult conversation for trust companies to navigate.

Gordon Bennie CEO Concentric

It is, and that is exactly why independent oversight matters so much. Trustees carry a fiduciary duty, and are accountable for assets held not just for returns, but in terms of alignment with any restrictions or positive characteristics their portfolios should exhibit.

Our role is to make that accountability achievable. We give trustees a clear, unambiguous picture so they can make decisions with confidence, not assumption.

You are a CFA-led, CISI Chartered Firm. How important is that professional grounding?

It underpins everything. Our research methodology is disciplined, combining on-site manager assessments, qualitative interviews and detailed quantitative analysis. We do not have preferred managers or receive fees from those we review.

That independence is not just a selling point; it is the foundation of credible advice, particularly for trust structures where conflicts of interest can be deeply damaging.

Winner • Research and Methodology (Global Reach) • Investment Consultancy (Global Reach)

What would you say to a trust company that has not yet considered an independent investment consultant?

Ask yourself when you last reviewed the activities of all the companies of every portfolio you oversee, the actual line-by-line detail. If the answer is uncertain, that is where we start. The conversation is straightforward. The findings rarely are.

Concentric Group operates across Jersey and Guernsey, providing investment consultancy, research and treasury services. concentric.je

Leading with Purpose: Embedding ESG Across Strategy, Culture, and Retirement Outcomes

Winner • Outstanding Contribution to Wealth For Good Initiatives (Americas) - Bonnie Treichel

Bonnie Treichel Chief Solutions Officer Endeavor Retirement

How do you ensure that ESG principles are embedded across all levels of your organisation, from strategy to daily decision-making?

I started my career in litigation, where the focus was on outcomes after the fact. Transitioning to the retirement plan industry gave me the opportunity to proactively improve outcomes by expanding access to workplace savings, and that philosophy continues to shape our approach to ESG at Endeavor Retirement and Endeavor Law. We embed ESG by prioritising enablement, empowerment, and access to education. Whether we're supporting advisors and plan sponsors with practical tools or evaluating new initiatives, we ask a simple question: does this improve access, transparency, or longterm financial well-being? For us, ESG isn't a standalone initiative – it's embedded in every decision we make.

In what ways have your colleagues contributed to making an impact, both internally and externally?

I’m incredibly proud of the team we’ve built at Endeavor Retirement. From the beginning, I’ve focused on hiring talented professionals who bring deep expertise, fresh perspectives, and a genuine commitment to serving others. Internally, we’ve created a culture where people are empowered to do their best work and give back to their communities.

Beyond our firm, our team advances the industry through leadership in fiduciary governance, participant outcomes, and best practices. Many also volunteer and mentor through organisations such as We Inspire Promote Network (WIPN), the American Retirement Association, and the FinServ Foundation, helping develop the next generation of financial professionals.

Looking ahead, how will you maintain your leadership in ESG? Are there new initiatives or innovations on the horizon?

We’re focused on maintaining our ESG leadership by staying ahead of evolving legislation, litigation, and regulation so we can continue equipping advisors with timely, responsible guidance. A key priority is making retirement planning more accessible and human, something reflected in my recent book, Your Retirement Sketchbook, which aims to simplify complex decisions for a broader audience.

We will continue investing in education, tools, and mentorship that expand access to retirement planning and strengthen the next generation of financial professionals. We see ESG leadership not as a standalone initiative, but as an ongoing commitment to improving long-term financial outcomes and access across the industry. We’re also proud to share these perspectives through industry conferences, most recently speaking at the DCIIA event on leadership for the next generation of professionals.

What difference do you hope winning this award will make for your business, your colleagues, and your clients?

Building Endeavor Retirement and Endeavor Law over the past five years has been one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my professional life, and this award is recognition that the work we are doing matters. For our clients, I hope it deepens their confidence that they are partnering with a firm that takes its responsibilities seriously, not just to them, but to the broader mission of improving retirement outcomes for workers across the country. For the profession, I hope it shows that a small, value-driven firm can innovate and collaborate to make an impact.

As Helen Keller once said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

Beyond Philanthropy: Building Scalable Impact Through Capital Winner • Philanthropy Offering (APAC)

Farro Capital

In what ways have your team contributed to making an impact, both internally and externally?

At Farro, we help families find purpose in their wealth, embedding impact across client engagement, investment decisions, and ecosystem partnerships.

Farro Capital helps families translate philanthropic intent into action through education, governance, and tailored impact frameworks. We develop philanthropic roadmaps and impact measurement systems that enable families to build enduring legacies while delivering measurable social and environmental outcomes.

Last year, we launched our Philanthropy Advisory Services in partnership with ImpactSG, bringing together prominent families from across the region for a meaningful conversation on purposeful giving.

The initiative mobilised S$600,000, representing not just a onetime contribution but an annual commitment by multiple families towards causes close to their hearts. The event was graced by Mr. Ravi Menon, former Chairman of MAS, as Chief Guest and was very well received.

Beyond the funds raised, the event advanced awareness around philanthropy. Many families have the intent to give meaningfully but often lack the structure, clarity, and guidance to do so effectively.

Through this platform, we help families move from generosity to impact through thoughtful advisory, governance, due diligence, and long-term purpose.

We also hired Priyaka Dhingra as Head of Impact and Sustainable Finance. Her experience spans UN-PRI, single-family offices, and EY Climate Consulting. A Rockefeller Foundation-recognised “Woman Leader in the Development Sector”, she contributed to Singapore’s Sustainable Finance Taxonomy and serves as ESG Investing faculty at the Wealth Management Institute.

How do you balance short-term business pressures with long-term ESG commitments?

Farro Capital believes meaningful ESG integration requires an

intergenerational mindset rather than a short-term performance focus. We help family offices bridge this understanding through education and capacity building, where we demonstrate how sustainability-integrated investing can enhance long-term resilience and returns. As next-generation wealth holders increasingly seek purpose-driven investing, we help families define legacy goals, governance frameworks, and impact priorities, embedding ESG into long-term decision-making.

Looking ahead, how will you maintain your leadership in ESG? Are there new initiatives or innovations on the horizon?

Farro will continue strengthening its ESG leadership by helping families build philanthropic and impact journeys while scaling innovative solutions such as the Asia Blended Fund (“ABF”). ABF channels family office, philanthropic, and institutional capital into underserved impact sectors across Asia.

By blending grant, catalytic first-loss, and commercial capital, ABF aims to de-risk investments and mobilise private capital at scale.

Farro will also support families in developing philanthropic frameworks, governance structures, and impact measurement systems that align wealth with purpose. Through these initiatives, Farro aims to position family offices as catalysts for sustainable development, social impact, and multi-generational legacy creation.

What difference do you hope winning this award will make for your business, your colleagues, and your clients?

Winning this award would affirm Farro Capital’s conviction that wealth should be a catalyst for both financial success and lasting societal impact. It would motivate us to continue building a leading family office platform. For our clients, it reinforces confidence in our differentiated approach; for our colleagues, it strengthens a shared sense of purpose; and for the broader ecosystem, it showcases the powerful role family offices can play in addressing Asia’s most pressing challenges.

FinServ Foundation Creating a Doorway to Sustainable Talent Development

C

reating a sustainable financial services industry starts with investing in people. At FinServ Foundation, we believe the long-term success of our profession depends on our ability to attract, develop, and retain the next generation of talent. Our mission is simple: to bridge the gap between the university and business worlds and help create a stronger future for financial services.

Today, our industry faces a significant talent challenge. We continue to see more advisors leave the profession than enter it, including a recent net loss of approximately 4,000 advisors. At the same time, demand for financial advice continues to grow. If we want to sustain this profession and continue serving clients well, we must invest in the next generation.

That belief drives our strategy and guides our decisions. We aspire to be the front door to the financial services industry by helping students and young professionals discover career opportunities and build successful careers.

Jamie Hopkins President Finserv Foundation

Winner • CSR Strategy and Implementation (Americas) • Thought Leadership (Americas)

A key part of that effort is ensuring our profession better reflects the communities and clients we serve. Diversity is not just a social objective; it is critical to the future growth and relevance of our industry. Through our fellowship programs, we strive to maintain a participant base close to a 50-50 male and female mix while creating opportunities for students from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences.

None of this work happens without the dedication of our volunteers. FinServ Foundation is a volunteer-driven organisation supported by more than 300 professionals who give their time to help students and young professionals succeed.

Mentorship, coaching, and career guidance sit at the centre of what we do. Our board and advisory board members also serve countless nonprofit organisations and community initiatives, contributing hundreds of hours each year.

That commitment to service extends beyond the Foundation. In my role at Bryn Mawr Trust, I helped launch a pro bono financial planning initiative that partners with a mortgage grant program serving families in the Philadelphia area. Over the past year, we have completed more than 100 pro bono financial plans, helping individuals and families make more informed decisions and build greater financial security.

Balancing short-term business demands with long-term commitments is never easy. Every organisation faces immediate pressures and competing priorities.

The challenge is not choosing one over the other but keeping the future in focus while addressing today's needs. At FinServ Foundation, we continually return to our mission of making this profession more sustainable and representative of the populations we serve. When you lead with a clear purpose, decisions become easier. When organisations focus only on quarterly results, they often sacrifice the future for the present Winning the WealthBriefing Wealth For Good Award would be a tremendous honour, but the greatest value would be the attention it brings to this challenge.

FinServ Foundation is making a difference, but no single organisation can solve the talent pipeline issue alone. My hope is that this recognition encourages firms, associations, universities, and nonprofits to work together. By collaborating, investing in talent, and creating more pathways into the industry, we can build a stronger profession that serves more people and creates opportunities for future generations.

Scaling Purpose: Leadership, Innovation, and Impact

Winner • CSR Strategy and Implementation (Americas) • Data Solution (Americas) • Female Executive (Global Reach) - Trina Stone

Trina Stone - Founder First Rate, Inc.

F

or more than three decades, First Rate has helped wealth management firms transform investment data into meaningful insights. Today, the company supports more than 500 firms globally and over $4 trillion in assets through performance measurement, client reporting, and data management solutions.

For CEO and co-founder Trina Stone, however, success has always been measured by more than growth.

"At First Rate, we believe business can be a force for good. The challenge isn't creating a mission statement – it's ensuring those values guide decisions every day."

How do you ensure that ESG principles are embedded across all levels of your organisation, from strategy to daily decision-making?

ESG is integrated into how we operate, not treated as a separate initiative. We consider the impact of our decisions on clients, colleagues, communities, and shareholders alike. Whether we're developing technology, investing in our people, or supporting community initiatives, we evaluate both business outcomes and long-term impact. Embedding ESG requires consistency, and we've found that purpose-driven decision-making strengthens performance rather than competing with it.

How do you balance short-term business pressures with long-term ESG commitments?

Every organisation faces competing priorities, but we've learned that long-term commitments often support stronger business outcomes. Investments in employee well-being improve retention, community engagement strengthens culture, and responsible governance builds trust with clients and partners. Rather than viewing

ESG as a separate objective, we see it as a framework for making better decisions. That perspective allows us to remain focused on sustainable growth while continuing to meet immediate business needs.

Looking ahead, how will you maintain your leadership in ESG? Leadership requires continuous improvement. As technology continues to transform financial services, we are focused on ensuring innovation is paired with responsibility. We will continue investing in solutions that help firms better understand and communicate the impact of investment decisions while also expanding how we measure our own organisational impact. Transparency, accountability, and measurable outcomes will remain central to our approach.

What difference do you hope winning this award will make for your business, colleagues, and clients?

This recognition belongs to our entire team. It reinforces for our colleagues that purpose-driven work matters and demonstrates to clients that they are partnering with an organisation committed to integrity, stewardship, and long-term value creation. Personally, I hope it also encourages more women to pursue leadership opportunities in technology and financial services. Diverse perspectives strengthen organisations, and the future of our industry depends on leaders who are willing to innovate while remaining grounded in purpose.

As I reflect on this recognition, I'm reminded that leadership is ultimately about stewardship – of people, opportunities, and the impact we leave behind. My hope is that First Rate continues to demonstrate that organisations can grow, innovate, and succeed while remaining deeply committed to their values. If we've proven anything over the past 35 years, it's that purpose and performance are strongest when they move forward together.

Helping More Philanthropists Create Greater Impact

Winner • Thought Leadership (Americas) • Regional Management CEO within a Technology Company (Americas) - Joseph Mrak III

Joseph Mrak III - CEO Foundation Source

F

oundation Source is the leading provider of philanthropic software and services, helping wealth advisors engage with donors and nonprofits effectively. We offer scalable, end-toend solutions across a broad range of charitable giving vehicles, including private foundations, donor-advised funds, planned giving programs, fiscal sponsorship and endowment sub-accounting.

As of December 31, 2025, Foundation Source supports more than 5,600 private foundations, 20,000 DAF account holders, and 1,700 nonprofits. We administer over $55 billion in charitable assets and facilitate more than 190,000 grants and planned gifts annually, representing over $4 billion in charitable aid. Our integrated platform helps advisors expand their philanthropic capabilities while improving client service, operational efficiency, and compliance.

In what ways have your colleagues contributed to making an impact, both internally and externally?

Everything we deliver rests on the expertise of our team. Over the past few years, we have deepened our offering and expertise, bringing together specialists in private foundations, donor-advised funds, planned giving, and strategic philanthropy, drawing on more than a century of combined experience. That collaboration allows us to anticipate trends and translate complex topics into practical guidance.

Externally, it shows up in the advisors we equip, the donors we guide, and the thousands of nonprofits that receive funding through our platform each year. We are enabling charitable capital to be translated into measurable, lasting impact on the causes our clients care about most.

What difference do you hope winning this award will make for your business, colleagues, and clients?

This recognition affirms that philanthropy belongs at the center of wealth management as a core component of holistic financial guidance. As the keepers of clients’ finances, advisors are uniquely positioned to facilitate charitable giving, but they need the right tools and support to be effective. We’re giving advisors confidence to navigate personal, values-based conversations, and translate clients’ charitable goals into measurable action.

I hope this award is motivational for the hard work our teams do each day to help clients fulfill their philanthropic goals. As our company grows, it’s important to stay grounded in our mission – distribute more gifts more effectively and create lasting change in the world.

Looking ahead, how will you maintain your leadership and impact in the philanthropic sector?

A historic wealth transfer is underway, and the next generation expects their wealth to reflect their values. We are meeting that moment by equipping advisors with the technology and resources needed to integrate giving into every client relationship, without adding complexity to their practice.

We will continue to lead the way we always have, by combining technology, expertise, and operational excellence to scale philanthropic advice across the industry, bringing the same rigor to charitable planning that the field has long applied to investment management.

We look forward to incorporating new innovations and partnering with the people and companies that help charitable capital reach the causes that need it most.

Glenmede: Embedding ESG at Every Level Winner • Investment Advice or Service Provision (Americas)

Glenmede

How do you ensure that ESG principles are embedded across all levels of your organisation, from strategy to daily decision-making?

Looking ahead, how will you maintain your leadership in ESG? Are there any new initiatives or innovations on the horizon?

At Glenmede, sustainable investing is built-in, not bolted on.

It is ingrained in our investment research process rather than siloed in a specialist team, producing a more cohesive view of risk, opportunity, and long-term value across the platform. The same analysts, the same diligence, and the same fiduciary lens apply whether a client wants integrated ESG considerations or a high-conviction impact mandate. Equally important, we believe sustainable investing considerations are an integral part of our fiduciary duty. We have served families, endowments, and foundations for nearly 70 years, and our understanding that financial, environmental, and social outcomes are interconnected flows from that experience. Our platform now spans more than 60 strategies – from integrated and mandated approaches to thematic and high-impact solutions – each grounded in the same research process and supported by tailored impact measurement.

We are leaning further into catalytic capital, where demand from the families we serve is higher than ever – capital willing to take on different risk or return profiles to unlock outcomes traditional capital cannot. Our partnership with CapShift is central to this work, expanding both our reach and our place-based capabilities. Also, our 2026 Sustainable Investing Outlook lays out where we see the most compelling opportunity sets in the year ahead: health equity, including women’s health, mental health, and the needs of aging populations; the ownership economy; and the buildout of a more resilient energy grid to support an artificial intelligence expansion arriving faster than even recent forecasts anticipated.

How do you balance short-term business pressures with long-term ESG commitments?

Our north star is unchanged: helping individuals and families pursue their goals with capital that reflects what they care about.

Recognition of this kind is not a destination but a platform – it strengthens our credibility, broadens the audiences we can reach, and creates new openings to engage clients, peers, and a wider community wrestling with the same questions. We are grateful for it, and we welcome anyone interested in the work to be in touch.

There remains considerable noise in this space, and politicisation, as it always has been, is part of that noise. Headlines come and go, narratives shift quarter to quarter, and the temptation to react is constant. Beneath it all, however, we continue to see a strong and durable desire among the families we serve to align their capital with sustainability over the long term, often across generations.

That conviction has not wavered with the news cycle. Our role is to meet it. We do that by staying anchored in financial materiality, favoring investing over divesting, and refusing to let short-term distractions pull clients off course from objectives measured in decades, not quarters.

What difference do you hope winning this award will make for your business, your colleagues, and your clients?

Guernsey: A Decade at the Forefront of Sustainable Finance

F

or almost a decade, Guernsey has established itself as a global leader in sustainable finance, embedding ESG as a core pillar of its financial services ecosystem. This leadership has been built through close alignment between industry, regulators and policymakers, creating a consistent approach from strategic direction through to everyday practice.

The Guernsey Financial Services Commission (GFSC) has identified sustainable finance as a priority, supported by ongoing enhancements to governance standards and the introduction of anti-greenwashing guidance to strengthen transparency and accountability. Alongside this, industry-led frameworks across sectors such as insurance and pensions provide practical routes for firms to integrate ESG principles into operations.

As a jurisdiction, we have consistently prioritised substance, supported by credible regulatory frameworks and clearly defined product structures. The result is an environment where ESG and sustainable finance considerations are not seen as competing with business priorities, but as integral to sustained growth, resilience and long-term value creation.

This is demonstrated through the development of world-first regulated regimes such as the Guernsey Green Fund and Natural Capital Fund, which require capital to be deployed toward measurable environmental outcomes. By embedding clear criteria and verification into these structures, Guernsey enables investors to align commercial objectives with long-term sustainability goals.

Guernsey’s responsive regulatory environment actively encourages innovation, continuing to attract new entrants aligned with transition finance. This includes specialist firms such as Paratus, the world’s first reinsurer underwriting energy price risk.

The jurisdiction’s impact is underlined by tangible figures. Guernsey channels £58 billion of investment into key sectors across the UK, including infrastructure and clean energy, whilst The International Stock Exchange, headquartered in Guernsey, has listed more than £25 billion on its sustainable market segment. These figures demonstrate the scale at which Guernsey is helping to mobilise capital towards meaningful outcomes.

Looking ahead, Guernsey continues to build on this foundation through ongoing consultation with expert practitioners, engagement with the Sustainable Finance Guernsey Council and collaboration with international partners. Recent milestones, including the designation of Gresham House under Guernsey’s Natural Capital Fund, are communicated through the Sustainable Finance Guernsey Podcast, which reaches circa 9,500 listeners, alongside a programme of targeted events and marketing campaigns. Guernsey is also looking to reinforce its role as an international centre for sustainable finance and innovative insurance solutions, building on its track record in humanitarian catastrophe bonds, reinsurance structures and ESG aligned captives.

Barnaby Molloy CEO Guernsey Finance

Being named winner of the Wealth for Good ‘Best Sustainability Programme’ is an important recognition of Guernsey’s long-standing commitment to sustainable finance. It reinforces our position as a credible, innovative and forward-thinking centre for responsible capital.

Ultimately, Guernsey’s ambition extends beyond recognition alone. Our focus remains on supporting clients and partners in delivering meaningful environmental and social progress. Through this award, we hope to raise awareness of the island’s ability to bring together local policymakers, businesses and global investors to direct capital towards solutions that support the transition to net zero, protect natural capital and build more resilient economies.

Driving Long-Term Value Through Sustainable Investing Leadership

Sophie Ward Director, Head of Charities and Education HSBC

Winner • Innovation in Sustainability (Europe) • Innovation in Impact Investing (Europe)

How do you ensure that ESG principles are embedded across all levels of your organisation, from strategy to daily decision-making?

Our approach to ESG is rooted in creating long-term value for customers and the economies in which we operate. We focus on three priorities: supporting the transition to net zero, building inclusion and resilience, and acting responsibly. We engage closely with customers, employees, suppliers, regulators, investors, and communities to understand and respond to the issues that matter most.

We maintain strong governance standards, monitor ESG performance, and publish regular updates. Within HSBC Private Bank, we work with clients to understand ESG objectives using tools such as our sustainability questionnaire and ESG framework. Sustainability is embedded across governance, risk management, product development, and advisory processes. We offer sustainable investment solutions across asset classes and provide ESG insights and specialist expertise to support decision-making.

In what ways have your colleagues contributed to making an impact, both internally and externally?

HSBC contributed $495.6 billion in sustainable finance and investment between 2020 and 2025, progressing towards its $750 billion to $1 trillion ambition by 2030, including $102 billion in 2025.

Our commercial strategy supports Corporate and Institutional Banking and Commercial Banking clients in their transition journeys and is informed by around 4,000 customer transition plans.

As a wealth manager, we support clients through HSBC and third-party solutions.

Demand for sustainable investing continues to grow, and we provide access through advisory, discretionary, and self-directed approaches across mutual funds, ETFs, equities, fixed income, structured products, and alternatives.

These solutions enable investment in companies with strong ESG profiles and net-zero themes, including clean energy and the circular economy. We also provide

climate-related insights and portfolio integration support, including Wealth Insights publications, sustainability questionnaires in selected markets, and ESG reporting for discretionary clients covering ESG scores, carbon intensity, and alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

How do you balance short-term business pressures with long-term ESG commitments?

At HSBC Private Bank, ESG is integral to performance and risk management. We begin with client objectives and time horizon, building diversified portfolios that meet near-term liquidity and return needs while integrating material ESG risks and opportunities.

We combine liquid core holdings with sustainable and transition investments where appropriate, and we review portfolios as markets evolve. We are transparent about trade-offs, apply robust due diligence and governance, and focus on credible real-economy transition outcomes.

Looking ahead, how will you maintain your leadership in ESG? We will continue to innovate in products and advice, expanding our sustainable and impact offering, including solutions such as our Vision Impact Private Equity strategy.

We are enhancing sustainability reporting, investing in client education through publications and events, and embedding ESG across the advisory process – from discovery and suitability to portfolio construction and ongoing review.

What difference do you hope winning this award will make?

Winning would be a meaningful endorsement of HSBC Private Bank’s progress in sustainable investing. For the business, it strengthens credibility and momentum. For colleagues, it recognises their expertise and commitment. For clients, it provides reassurance that they are partnering with a bank committed to continuously improving sustainability capabilities, advice, and reporting.

Leading with Values: Embedding ESG into Every Decision

Winner • CSR Strategy and Implementation (UK) • Research and Methodology (UK) • Investment Consultancy (UK)

Isio Private Office

A

t Isio Private Office, we support individuals, families and family offices, charities, foundations and endowments in a way that is different from a traditional wealth manager. Rather than being constrained by a product range, we provide independent, whole-of-market advice tailored to each client's objectives. By combining investment expertise, technology and data-driven insights, we help clients see the bigger picture, make better decisions and achieve stronger long-term outcomes.

How do you ensure ESG principles are embedded across all levels of your organisation?

At Isio, ESG principles are embedded through a values-led culture, strong governance, and clear accountability. Our culture is grounded in doing the right thing, having conviction, staying curious, and being human – ensuring ESG considerations are reflected in strategic decisions and day-to-day behaviours.

We simplify complexity to focus on what matters most, supporting clients with clear, evidence-based advice that integrates sustainability and long-term outcomes. Many of our clients are purpose-led organisations, such as charities, so we anchor advice and investment design around each client’s mission, focusing on sustainable returns, controlled risk, and reliable spending to support long-term impact.

Collective working across disciplines ensures diverse perspectives are considered, while empowering our people to use judgement and act with integrity.

This is reinforced through governance frameworks, performance objectives linked to ESG outcomes, and a consistent focus on delivering better long-term outcomes for clients, colleagues, and society.

How do you balance short-term business pressures with long-term ESG commitments?

We take a disciplined, strategy-led approach that prioritises long-term value over short-term performance. In an environment of market volatility and increasing complexity, we focus on resilience, diversification, and clarity of outcomes rather than reacting to short-term pressures.

We help clients stay focused on long-term outcomes, rather

than reacting to short-term pressures. We see sustainable investing to enhance long-term returns by managing risk and capturing structural opportunities.

By combining strong governance, clear conviction, and a focus on long-term outcomes, we help clients remain confident in their strategies – even in uncertain conditions – while continuing to meet evolving ESG expectations.

Looking ahead, how will you maintain your leadership in ESG? We believe the next phase of ESG will require greater clarity, stronger judgement, and more human-led advice. To maintain our leadership, we will continue to invest in innovation and adapt to an evolving sustainability landscape.

Staying curious is central to our approach. We are seeing a shift in client thinking – from “what should we avoid?” to “what are we trying to achieve through our investments?” – including supporting climate transition, responsible corporate behaviour, and positive social outcomes.

We will continue to deepen our research and advisory capability, helping clients define what sustainability and impact mean in their context and translate that into well-constructed portfolios. We will also expand the use of impact investing and private markets where appropriate to deliver both financial returns and measurable real-world outcomes. This, combined with strong diversification, positions us to continue leading as ESG evolves.

What difference do you hope winning this award will make?

Winning this award is a meaningful recognition of how we bring our values to life – delivering clarity, confidence, and better outcomes through independent, ESG-aligned thinking.

For our colleagues, it will be an opportunity to celebrate the behaviours and culture that underpin our success. For our clients, it offers external validation of our disciplined, values-led approach and reinforces confidence in our advice.

Importantly, the recognition will also motivate us to go further – continuing to challenge convention, stay curious and raise standards across the industry. Ultimately, its value lies in supporting us to deliver even better outcomes for clients, colleagues, and society.

Proud winner of the Philanthropy Initiative and Innovative Offering of the Year Awards

Thoughtful Philanthropy, Expertly Delivered Charitable trusts offer your clients a flexible, structured way to support the causes they care about — whether funding local initiatives, the arts, education or global environmental projects or many other areas.

Ludlow Trust establishes and administers charitable trusts on your clients’ behalf, providing a seamless, fully managed service. Our specialists guide clients in shaping their grant‑making strategy, engaging the next generation and creating a lasting philanthropic legacy.

Trusts can be structured to be as hands‑on or hands‑off as each client prefers.

We work closely with investment managers, private banks, legal advisers and accountants to ensure every charitable trust fits neatly within a client’s wider financial and estate‑planning arrangements — complementing what you already do for them.

The award‑winning Ludlow Funding Enquiry Gateway connects philanthropists with charities by giving UK‑registered and exempt charities a single portal to apply for grants from Ludlow‑managed charitable trusts. Clients can review tailored or general applications at any time, creating a more efficient route between those offering funding and those seeking it.

Charitable trusts also offer compelling tax advantages for clients. As an additional‑rate taxpayer your client could establish a £500,000 trust for around £265,000 with Gift Aid, and leaving 10% of their estate to charity may reduce the net cost to their family to as little as 2.5%. We also support non‑domiciled clients wishing to establish a UK charitable trust.

Alongside charitable trusts, we help clients with wills and family trust planning, ensuring their affairs are managed seamlessly in one place.

From Governance to Giving: Embedding ESG Across Everything We Do Chris Thurlow Managing Director Ludlow Trust Company

Winner • Philanthropic Initiative (UK) • Innovative Offering (UK)

How do you ensure that ESG principles are embedded across all levels of your organisation, from strategy to daily decision-making?

At Ludlow Trust, ESG is not a separate initiative – it is embedded in how we operate as a business.

Good governance underpins everything we do. Our fiduciary responsibilities demand the highest standards of transparency, accountability and robust decision-making, ensuring governance is central to both our strategy and day-to-day operations.

From an environmental perspective, we have taken tangible steps to reduce our footprint. The development of our Gateway platform has enabled a significant shift away from what has traditionally been a paper-heavy grant application process with over 13,000 live applications now managed online. This not only enhances efficiency but also delivers a meaningful reduction in paper usage.

The social dimension of ESG is brought to life through the grants we support, delivering meaningful outcomes for charities, families and communities. This is a core part of our purpose and reflects the broader role trusts can play in creating lasting positive impact.

How do you balance short-term business pressures with long-term ESG commitments?

Our priority is delivering exceptional client care, and we see responsible and sustainable practices as fundamental to achieving that.

Rather than viewing ESG as something to balance against commercial pressures, we see it as integral to our long-term success.

Trusts are, by their nature, long-term structures – whether supporting charitable giving, protecting family wealth, or providing for future generations.

By maintaining this long-term perspective, we ensure that immediate client needs are met in a way that also delivers enduring social value. This alignment allows us to build strong, lasting relationships grounded in trust, responsibility and shared outcomes.

Looking ahead, how will you maintain your leadership in ESG? Are there new initiatives or innovations on the horizon?

Maintaining leadership in ESG requires continuous focus and evolution.

We are committed to enhancing our Gateway platform to further improve efficiency, accessibility and environmental performance. At the same time, we are expanding our capabilities within the philanthropy and family trust space to better support clients in achieving their long-term objectives.

Through these initiatives, we aim to deepen the integration of responsible practices into our core offering while reinforcing our position as the leading trust company in the UK. What difference do you hope winning this award will make for your business, your colleagues, and your clients?

Our philanthropy offering is a defining strength of Ludlow Trust.

It is bespoke, insightful and seamlessly delivered, enabling clients to structure their charitable giving in a thoughtful and meaningful way while remaining focused on the causes that matter most to them.

Winning these prestigious awards is a powerful endorsement of the quality and distinctiveness of our approach. It is a source of immense pride for our colleagues and a reassuring signal to clients that they are in safe hands.

We will use this recognition to continue investing in our people and our philanthropy proposition, ensuring we remain at the forefront of best practice in charitable planning and delivery.

Aligning Wealth with Purpose: Creating Lasting Impact Through Philanthropy and Responsible Investing

A

t Pictet, our Philanthropy Services team is driven by a genuine passion for helping clients create meaningful, lasting change in the world. Every day, we have the privilege of working alongside individuals and families who want to align their wealth with their values and impact. As part of Pictet Wealth Management, we support our clients at any stage of their philanthropic journeys, providing strategic guidance and tailored solutions that reflect their unique aspirations.

Chris Courth Global Head of Philanthropy Services Nina Hoas Senior Philanthropy Strategist Pictet Wealth Management

We encourage our clients to take a holistic approach to their wealth and think about their impact in all its dimensions— whether that’s through their business activities, their investment choices, or their philanthropic giving. We’ve seen a remarkable 88% increase in client interest in philanthropy since 2022, which represent the growing desire to engage with pressing challenges we face globally, from climate change and biodiversity loss to social inequality. Through our advisory services and responsible investment platform, we help clients turn their intentions into action, supporting them in their efforts to contribute to a more sustainable and equitable world.

Blending philanthropy with responsible investment is at the core of our philosophy.

Putting Philanthropy at the Heart of Wealth Planning

P

rism the Gift Fund (Prism) helps individuals, families, founders and organisation’s structure and manage their charitable giving. Working with private client advisers, Prism makes giving swift, simple and taxefficient, especially for donors with complex wealth structures or those gifting overseas. In 2025, Prism celebrated its 20th anniversary, securing over $1 billion in donations, and distributing more than $600 million to charitable causes around the world, with over $500 million in assets under management.

Over the last three years, Prism’s deputy CEO, Adiva Kalms, has cemented her reputation as a leader in the Wealth For Good sector and continues to raise the profile of philanthropy and Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) in private finance.

How does Prism help private client advisers have better conversations with their clients about philanthropy?

Philanthropy is still one of the conversations advisers find hardest to start – often because the landscape is constantly shifting. At our Prism events we bring together leaders from the financial, legal, philanthropic and charity sectors to share their expertise and ideas. Being introduced to real changemakers, like the co-founder of the Eden Project, or a parent who funds research into their child’s rare genetic condition, brings philanthropy to life in a way no technical report can. Our "Lunch and Learn" sessions break down charitable giving structures, and we introduce DAFs, a popular alternative to setting up a foundation for high-net-worth clients.

What does Prism offer donors with particularly complex or international giving needs?

We’re built for complexity. We’ve helped a donor navigate buying land for an environmental charity overseas and facilitated the gift of £10 million in shares to a US charity. We also deal with donations of property and artefacts, like a legacy donation of hundreds of microscopes and scientific instruments des­tined to an Oxford museum. Alongside DAFs and Collective Funds, we offer Prism Offshore, and in 2025 launched our Dual Qualified Structure for do­nors with UK and US tax obligations, and established Prism as the UK rep­resentative of the Myriad Alliance. This is an international network enabling cross-border giving.

Last year alone we made over 1,600 grants across 27 countries.

Adiva Kalms Deputy CEO Prism the Gift Fund

What does working with Prism look like in practice?

Prism is structured to be agile and find solutions quickly. We work best as a partner, not just a referral destination. I regularly join prospect meetings alongside wealth managers, legal and tax advisers to help navigate complex conversations around giving. The adviser stays at the centre of the relationship, we add depth and expertise. One example I'm particularly proud of was supporting an investment firm to win a client with assets exceeding £30 million.

What does winning this award mean to you, and what’s next for Prism?

Winner

It’s a great moment for the whole team. Everyone at Prism brings different expertise, enabling us to find creative solutions for our donors. I’m excited about continuing to merge private client work and philanthropy, and the momentum around DAFs and cross-border giving. We’re enabling sustainable and systemic change and getting more money to charitable causes.

Rethinking Wealth Management for the Next Generation Winner • Outstanding Contribution to Wealth For Good Initiatives (Under 40's) (Americas) - Raphael Viana Khalil

Raphael Viana Khalil

In an extremely competitive global wealth management industry, what do you believe led the judges to select your name?

I believe the judges recognised a relatively rare combination of technical depth, strategic vision, and a genuine commitment to the modern concept of fiduciary duty. Today, wealth management is no longer simply an industry focused on financial products or short-term performance. There is growing demand for professionals capable of integrating quantitative sophistication, governance, risk discipline, and the ability to navigate complex macroeconomic environments while preserving intergenerational wealth.

construction significantly more complex. In markets such as Brazil, we must simultaneously deal with aggressive interest rate cycles, structurally higher inflation, fiscal risk, currency volatility, and frequent regulatory changes.

In addition, there is an extra layer of complexity related to the structural concentration of domestic risk. Many investors have their wealth, businesses, and income generation heavily concentrated in their home country, which further increases the importance of a robust global diversification architecture. In emerging economies, asset allocation is no longer merely a return optimisation tool; it also becomes an essential instrument for wealth protection.

You often say that wealth management goes far beyond performance. In practical terms, what does it mean to manage the wealth of ultra-high-net-worth families?

You work with asset allocation at a highly sophisticated level. What separates a good allocation from a truly exceptional one?

Managing the wealth of UHNW families means overseeing far more than financial assets alone. There is an extremely important human, patrimonial, and even emotional dimension involved.

Behind every wealth structure there is a family history, succession planning, intergenerational responsibility, and often highly complex objectives. The role of the manager is to act as a strategic architect of wealth, balancing capital preservation, sustainable growth, liquidity, governance, and risk management. Performance obviously matters, but performance alone does not define a well-executed job.

A good allocation is usually capable of delivering statistical efficiency within a given expected scenario. An exceptional allocation, however, is one capable of surviving scenarios that were not anticipated. The real differentiator lies in the robustness of the portfolio under uncertainty rather than merely optimising for a base-case scenario.

What are the main challenges in wealth management that make portfolio construction more complex in emerging economies?

You are strongly involved in both professional practice and academic research. How do these two areas complement each other?

Emerging economies naturally present a higher degree of macroeconomic volatility and risk asymmetry. This makes portfolio

For me, practice and academia function as a two-way relationship. Practical experience reveals the main real-world problems

True sophistication is less about isolated mathematical complexity and more about the ability to build resilient and adaptive structures.

ACCLAIM | WEALTHBRIEFING RECOGNISES LEADERS ACROSS THE GLOBAL WEALTH MANAGEMENT INDUSTRY

and limitations that investors face. Academic research, meanwhile, provides tools to structure solutions in a more rigorous, less intuitive, and potentially more efficient way.

My Ph.D. research on adaptive asset allocation models and behavioral analysis originated precisely from challenges observed in real-world wealth management.

You actively participate in both the local and international financial community. Why do you consider this global exchange of knowledge so important?

Financial markets evolve extremely quickly, and many major transformations first emerge in specific financial centers before spreading globally. Actively participating in the international community allows professionals to anticipate trends, understand new approaches, and continuously expand their intellectual framework.

Furthermore, wealth management is a deeply globalised industry. This global exchange of knowledge helps not only to improve local practices, but also to elevate the sophistication and professional standards of the industry as a whole.

How do you build trust with families that possess significant wealth and highly complex structures?

Trust in this segment is not built through speeches, but through consistency over time. UHNW families already interact with numerous highly qualified professionals. What truly differentiates a long-term relationship is the ability to demonstrate alignment, transparency, discipline, and composure, especially during difficult moments.

I also believe the ability to translate complexity into clarity is fundamental. Often, the true value does not lie in making wealth management more complex, but rather in explaining risks, decisions, and strategies objectively and transparently. Trust grows when families perceive technical depth combined with genuine responsibility toward protecting their wealth.

Is there any personal philosophy or professional principle that guides your decisions as a manager and strategist?

Perhaps the main principle is never confusing recent returns with structural robustness. Financial markets often reward excessively risky behavior in the short term, but wealth management requires a much broader and more disciplined perspective. My priority has always been building resilient structures capable of surviving different cycles and extreme scenarios.

I also strongly believe in the importance of intellectual humility.

Markets are far too complex for absolute certainty. For this reason, I try to structure decision-making processes that recognise uncertainty, incorporate continuous adaptation, and avoid excessive dependence on a single worldview or macroeconomic scenario.

47

Looking ahead, what legacy would you like to leave for the wealth management industry?

I would like to contribute to a more sophisticated, responsible, and intellectually rigorous vision of wealth management. I believe wealth management has a much greater impact than most people realise because it directly influences the preservation of productive capital, family stability, and long-term decisions that extend across generations.

I would also like to help bring academic research, technology, and practical wealth management even closer together. The future of the industry will likely be built by professionals capable of integrating data science, quantitative finance, human behavior, and governance in a balanced manner. If I can contribute to accelerating this evolution, I would already consider that a highly meaningful legacy.

Since this is an award focused on the “Under 40” generation, do you feel there is a new mindset emerging among younger managers regarding the true role of fiduciary duty?

Yes, I believe an important shift is taking place. Younger generations seem much more open to interdisciplinarity. New managers naturally tend to integrate technology, data science, behavioral finance, and a global perspective into their work.

At the same time, the challenge will be balancing innovation with prudence, because at the end of the day we are dealing with family wealth, legacy, and trust.

Embedding Purpose: Russell-Cooke’s Integrated Approach to ESG and Philanthropy Pippa Garland Partner Russell Cooke

Winner • Philanthropy Offering or Advice (Europe)

How do you ensure that ESG principles are embedded across all levels of your organisation, from strategy to daily decision-making?

At Russell-Cooke, ESG is not a standalone initiative but an integral part of how we advise clients and operate as a firm. Our strategy is grounded in purpose-led advisory, where environmental and social impact considerations are embedded into client engagements from the outset. By integrating philanthropy with estate, tax and succession planning, we ensure that ESG principles are reflected in long-term wealth strategies, rather than treated as an adjunct.

Internally, we reinforce this through collaborative working across teams, bringing together legal specialists to deliver holistic solutions. This approach is underpinned by our responsible business (RB) strategy, which shapes how we deliver on our commitments beyond client work – from supporting access to justice through legal aid and community partnerships, to fostering an inclusive and socially mobile workplace, alongside a firmwide volunteering scheme that enables colleagues to contribute directly to the communities we serve.

On a practical level, ESG considerations influence daily decision-making through governance frameworks, risk management processes, and impact measurement systems that we design for clients and apply within.

In what ways have your colleagues contributed to making an impact, both internally and externally?

Our colleagues play a central role in delivering impact. Externally, they advise both donors and charitable organisations, providing a dual perspective that enhances outcomes and ensures that philanthropic structures are both technically sound and operationally effective. This includes designing governance models, supporting regulatory compliance, and embedding reporting frameworks that enable clients to measure outcomes with clarity and confidence.

Internally, colleagues contribute to a culture that prioritises purpose, collaboration and long-term thinking. There is a strong emphasis on intergenerational engagement - both within client families and in how we develop our own teams - ensuring that knowledge, values and commitment to impact are sustained over time. This collective approach enables us to deliver consistent, high-quality advice while fostering innovation.

How do you balance short-term business pressures with long-term ESG commitments?

Balancing immediate demands with long-term ESG objectives requires a disciplined, strategic approach. We achieve this by aligning ESG considerations with our core business model. By embedding impact, governance and sustainability into the structures we design, we ensure that short-term decisions support long-term outcomes.

Our approach to philanthropy emphasises flexible giving models and robust reporting frameworks. These allow clients to respond to immediate needs while maintaining a clear focus on sustained, measurable impact.

Looking ahead, how will you maintain your leadership in ESG? We will continue to build on our integrated model, combining legal expertise with innovative, impact-led approaches to philanthropy. This includes developing more flexible giving structures, expanding the use of data-driven impact measurement, and supporting clients in addressing complex global challenges through strategic philanthropy.

We are also focused on strengthening family governance and intergenerational engagement. By remaining at the forefront of both technical excellence and strategic insight, we are well positioned to help clients achieve meaningful and lasting impact.

Ultimately, winning this award reinforces our commitment to delivering philanthropy that is not only legally robust, but transformative.

Wealth For Good is Not a Tagline. At The Howell Legacy Group, it is the Structure.

How a 150-year Delaware trust structure, three independent public charities, and mission-embedded operating companies reshaped the family office model around long-term stewardship.

How do you ensure long-horizon stewardship is embedded across all levels of your organisation – from governance to daily decision-making?

We did not embed stewardship into the structure. We built the structure around stewardship. The Trust was chartered with a 150-year mandate – every capital decision evaluated against a generational time horizon, not a quarterly one. That single architectural choice changes what qualifies as a good outcome. Three independent 501(c)(3) public charities – Today's Child Foundation, Ifoma Foundation, and AITCH Conservation Foundation – operate with genuine arm's-length independence from the Trust. Not subsidiaries. The governing documents treat measurable social impact as a fiduciary obligation, not an add-on. AITCH Technologies LLC's eleven-patent portfolio develops purpose-native technologies – precision agriculture, emissions management, water-harvesting infrastructure – engineered to generate durable value because they solve problems that matter across decades, not quarters.

John Shelton Howell III Founder, CEO & Managing Trustee Margaret Howell Co Manager & COO The Howell Legacy Group

How do you balance short-term business pressures with long-term stewardship commitments?

The 150-year mandate largely dissolves this tension rather than managing it. When building for five generations, no short-term pressure justifies compromising the conditions the sixth generation will inherit – and that principle is binding on every successor trustee, not merely aspirational. What we manage carefully is liquidity architecture: real estate holdings generating cash flow that funds philanthropic work without liquidating core assets, and a technology portfolio structured to license rather than sell – preserving equity while sustaining the mission across market cycles.

Looking ahead, how will you maintain leadership in long-horizon stewardship?

Are there new structural innovations on the horizon?

The next phase is the convergence of mission-embedded technology and philanthropic infrastructure at scale. AITCH Technologies LLC is advancing licensing strategies for commercially mature patents addressing water scarcity, agricultural productivity, and building-level carbon reduction. Today's Child Foundation is deepening its reach in adoption support and early childhood services – areas where durable intervention produces generational returns no balance sheet fully captures. Underpinning both is AITCH Platforms LLC: nine live AI-driven applications for grant management, portfolio oversight, and multi-generational wealth coordination – institutional-grade infrastructure we intend to make available across the family office community.

Winner

• Leading Individual in Wealth For Good (Americas) - John Shelton Howell III • Initiative or Program (Americas) • Innovative Technology Solution (Americas)

What difference do you hope winning this award will make for your organisation, your family, and the communities you serve?

These three awards confirm that the governance model itself is the differentiator – not any single initiative, but the architecture that makes sustained stewardship structurally inevitable over time. For our family – and for John Shelton Howell IV, Successor Trustee in training and VP of Development – the recognition establishes a standard for the generations who will carry this forward. We want them to inherit not just assets, but a record: that this family built something the industry recognised as a model for long-horizon stewardship in practice. Wealth For Good is not a category we competed in. It is a description of the structure we already built.

Your Trusted Partner for Strategic Philanthropy Dickson Lim - Head, TT Foundation Advisors Lead, Philanthropy Advisory TT Foundation Advisors

Winner • Initiative or Program (Global Reach)

T

T Foundation Advisors (TTFA) is the philanthropy advisory arm of Temasek Trust. As Asia’s one-stop provider of philanthropy advisory and management services, TTFA serves philanthropic foundations, family offices, business corporations, philanthropists, and charities in achieving their desired philanthropic impact. Services include expert advisory and impact curation, effective local and regional partnerships, efficient monitoring and impact management, and access to innovative financing models. In fiscal year 2025 alone, TTFA garnered more than S$200 million in assets under advice.

What has been the most impactful innovation your firm introduced recently, and how has it shaped client outcomes or internal efficiency?

TTFA’s Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) enables giving strategies beyond grants, allowing clients to recycle their limited philanthropic capital and catalyse commercial capital through blended financing models to scale systemic impact. Many impact-first ventures lack the follow-on funding needed to scale their businesses and attract venture capital. Philanthropic funds provide the patient and risk capital needed to sustain these ventures, while allowing our clients, as prospective investors, to leverage this early access to de-risk potential commercial investments.

Can you share a story that best illustrates your team’s commitment to client service or problem-solving?

Public grants often have restricted geographies and terms for deployment, which limits projects with regional footprints or those that require global expertise, such as climate-related programmes. By catalysing S$20 million of private philanthropic capital, TTFA enabled a public-private-philanthropic partnership to augment the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB)’s Carbon Project Development Grant, to co-fund established Singapore-based project developers in high-quality Article 6 carbon development projects across the region. Through the coordination of multiple private DAFs alongside EDB grants, the initiative mobilises global resources to leverage one of the world's largest nature-based assets. It enables family offices and founda-

tions to collaborate on financing validated projects, supporting offtake partnerships and demand signalling to improve project viability.

What role has collaboration – either internally or with external partners – played in your success?

TTFA connects donors to the wider philanthropic ecosystem within Temasek Trust, leveraging its global partnerships and networks, innovative platforms, and evidence-based giving opportunities across the region and beyond for catalytic impact. This enables wealth owners to learn and adopt impact-focused strategies that drive sustainable, scalable, and systemic change. As societal challenges become increasingly global, interventions require collaboration at a global scale to ensure that limited philanthropic resources are effectively deployed and coordinated to maximise impact. This is exemplified by the recent announcement of the Global Coalition for Nuclear Philanthropy by The Rockefeller Foundation and Temasek Trust. As part of this initiative, TTFA will provide infrastructure support to its future Secretariat, including tailored donor-advised funds and grant management services.

What are the key challenges you foresee in wealth management over the next five years, and how are you positioning your business to meet them?

The largest intergenerational transfer of wealth in human history is now underway, with trillions of dollars expected to change hands across Asia Pacific by 2030, largely from first- to second-generation wealth owners. This presents Asia’s ultra-highnet-worth (UHNW) families with a unique opportunity not only to secure lasting prosperity, but also to shape enduring philanthropic legacies for future generations. Many of these families are keen to learn from and adapt leading strategies and practices for deploying their philanthropic capital effectively. To help catalyse this potential, TTFA partners major private banks across Asia to support their UHNW clients in curating and backing high-impact projects, while connecting them to collaborative partnerships that leverage bestin-class interventions to achieve transformational outcomes for the communities they care deeply about.

VAR Capital Creating Lasting Impact Beyond Investment Returns How do you ensure that ESG principles are embedded across all levels of your organisation?

ESG is embedded in our focus on responsible stewardship, long-term thinking, and strong governance. As a multi-family office managing almost $2 billion in assets, we see our role as extending beyond returns to helping families preserve wealth across generations.

We integrate ESG into our due diligence and risk framework, recognising that strong governance and sustainable business models are key drivers of long-term value.

We also support education and charitable initiatives through mentoring, trustee education, and investment expertise for charities. ESG is not a standalone initiative, but part of how we advise clients, prepare future generations, and contribute to our communities.

In what ways have your colleagues contributed to making an impact, both internally and externally?

Our colleagues contribute to making an impact through education, mentoring and the transfer of knowledge. Internally, we dedicate significant time to preparing the next generation of our client families for future responsibility. These programmes are designed to improve financial literacy, encourage engagement and strengthen intergenerational understanding.

Externally, members of our investment team actively support aspiring finance professionals. Investment Director Jonathan Eldridge recently worked with students from the UCL Asset Management Society, mentoring participants, judging stockpitch competitions and supporting internship opportunities. This culminated in a student being offered an internship with VAR Capital and the potential pathway to a permanent role.

Our leadership team is also actively involved in wider social initiatives. CEO Vikash Gupta contributes to the Centre for Responsible Leadership at Imperial Business School, helping shape its strategic direction and influence. In addition, VAR Capital funds the education of five gifted children in

India and supports charitable and community-focused initiatives both financially and through professional expertise.

How will you maintain your leadership in ESG? Are there new initiatives or innovations on the horizon?

Our focus is on expanding financial education, supporting charitable organisations and strengthening responsible stewardship across generations.

We are expanding our next-generation programme to include practical topics such as budgeting, debt management, mortgages and property ownership, recognising that effective wealth management extends beyond investment knowledge alone.

We also see significant opportunity to improve outcomes for charities and foundations. Through our research and advocacy work, we are encouraging charities to adopt more structured investment frameworks that align capital with mission, improve governance and preserve purchasing power over the long term.

As our business expands internationally with our new office in the UAE, we remain committed to combining investment excellence with meaningful social impact, ensuring that growth strengthens rather than dilutes our values.

What difference do you hope winning this award will make for your business?

Winning this award would recognise our team’s work in delivering strong investment outcomes alongside meaningful social impact.

For our colleagues, acknowledge their commitment to mentoring, charity work, education, and community initiatives. For clients, it would reinforce our focus on responsible stewardship and long-term thinking.

Most importantly, we hope it would help raise awareness of the importance of financial education, intergenerational planning and sustainable wealth management. As one of the largest wealth transfers in history takes place globally, helping families, charities and future beneficiaries make informed decisions has never been more important.

Solving Structural Barriers: How ViewTrade Helped Unlock Savings for Thai Investors Winner • Regional Management CEO within a Technology Company (Global Reach) - Tony (Anthony) Petrilli

Tony (Anthony) Petrilli Chairman and CEO ViewTrade

Your work in Thailand, credited with around 442 million Thai baht in potential savings for investors, is often cited as a case in point. Can you walk us through that example?

helped align partners like ASCO around a single path. Importantly, we did this without tying it to a commercial arrangement; we acted because we were positioned to and because it needed doing.

For years, Thai investors in U.S. markets were taxed at 30% on dividends because Thai brokers operated as Non-Qualified Intermediaries, even though the U.S.–Thailand tax treaty often allows a 15% rate. Claiming refunds was so difficult that most investors never did.

Beyond the figure of 442 million Thai baht itself, why does this matter?

The solution was enabling Thai brokers to become Qualified Intermediaries, allowing them to certify clients’ treaty eligibility and apply the 15% rate directly. Working with the Association of Thai Securities Companies (ASCO), this framework is now being implemented, and investors are beginning to benefit from the reduced withholding.

This was a structural issue the industry had lived with for years. What made it possible to move it forward so quickly?

Two factors mattered. First, ownership. Structural problems persist not because they’re unsolvable, but because they sit between stakeholders and end up belonging to no one. We chose to own it - funding the effort and convening the right players rather than waiting for a coalition to emerge.

Second, our vantage point. Operating across technology, brokerage operations, tax reporting, and market access in more than 24 countries, and with prior experience helping firms obtain QI and related approvals (including in markets like India), we could see the full chain end to end. That perspective – from IRS review of Thailand’s KYC framework through to broker-level implementation –

The figure is the starting point, not the finish line. That’s money that, year after year, was leaking out of the system through over-withholding – money that belonged in the hands of Thai investors. Correcting the structure means it can stay in the market, available to be reinvested. And because this is a structural fix rather than a one-time rebate, the benefit compounds: lower friction improves net returns, better returns encourage more participation, and broader participation deepens the market over time. There’s also a quieter win here. The old model placed an enormous compliance and penalty burden on Thai brokers – potentially hundreds of thousands of individual tax filings, with real financial exposure for late or inaccurate filing. The QI model collapses that into pooled reporting. So, you improve outcomes for the investor and reduce risk and cost for the broker at the same time. That’s the kind of result I find genuinely worthwhile.

Finally, what’s the broader lesson here for other firms in financial services that want their impact to be real rather than cosmetic?

Stop searching for impact outside your business and start looking inside it. Every serious company has a domain where it knows more and can move faster than anyone else, and that’s exactly where it can do good that’s authentic and durable, because it’s built on genuine expertise rather than a borrowed cause.

From Compliance to Conviction: Embedding ESG in Private Wealth Advisory How do you ensure that ESG principles are embedded across all levels of your organisation, from strategy to daily decision-making?

As our mandates often involve long-term and multi generation planning, ESG principles are naturally embedded in how we think and what we do for clients. ESG is not something we bolt on or treat as a compliance checklist.

It is baked into our daily work. When we talk to clients about strategies on succession planning and management of their assets, we always advise on these through the lens of sustainability and longevity. These principles are ingrained into how we approach problems and the solutions we provide.

It is not a discipline or habit but it is the way we think.

In what ways have your colleagues contributed to an impact, both internally and externally?

Chloe Leung Partner Clifford Ng Co-Managing Partner Zhong Lun Law Firm LLP

Our team drives this impact from the ground up. Internally, our lawyers and advisors work closely across different jurisdictions and practice areas, sharing knowledge rather than working in silos. Externally, they don't just sit back – they actively participate in professional bodies, publish thought leadership, and drive our charitable work, particularly around social mobility and gender equality. It is this combination of daily client work and external advocacy that helps raise the bar for the wider private wealth sector.

How do you balance short-term business pressures with long-term ESG commitments?

We do not view them as conflicting priorities. If a decision does not hold up over the long term, it is rarely the right move for the short term. We have seen how short-term – often quarterly – driven pressures can push organisations into decision dead-ends. By aligning decisions with long-term values and sustainable objectives, we help clients achieve outcomes that are both resilient in the near term and enduring across generations.

Looking ahead, how will you maintain your leadership in ESG? Are there new initiatives or innovations on the horizon?

Market priorities shift constantly with political and economic cycles – we saw the "E" in ESG lose its lustre only for energy security and oil crises to drag it right back into focus. We do not view ESG as a passing fad but as a set of fundamental principles that guide resilient and responsible decision-making. By building structures that amplify social impact, we ensure that ESG principles are enduring, not a fashion.

Winner

What difference do you hope winning this award will make for your business, your colleagues, and your clients?

• Outstanding Contribution to Wealth For Good Initiatives (Under 40's) (APAC) - Chloe Leung • Leading Individual in Wealth For Good (APAC) - Clifford Ng

We hope this award validates and amplifies the idea that thoughtful wealth stewardship is the right path forward. For our business, prioritising ESG is both commercially viable and deeply impactful. For our team, this is a hardearned recognition of their daily dedication. And for our clients, this is reassurance that they are working with advisors who care about their legacy just as much as their current returns. Above all, we hope it sets a benchmark for higher standards for the entire wealth management profession.

Maximize the Impact of Your Charitable Giving.

Philanthropy is a priority for many families. In addition to determining which causes to support, there are other important decisions, including involving other family members in grant decisions, and using a charitable giving vehicle, such as a donor-advised fund or private foundation.
