記者招待會 邀請函

2012《指標》財富管理年奬 評鑑結果 隆重揭曉

 
由 WealthAsia Group主辦2012《指標》財富管理年奬頒獎晚宴將於2012年11月28日揭曉各獎項得奬企業。

已踏進第三年的「財富管理年獎」乃是業界最具影響力的年度獎項,旨在提昇金融界最佳實務,表彰得獎企業在資金實力,分銷商與客戶的支聯服務體系,定價結構,保密性,透明度,創新及企業管治等各方面所取得的成就。

今年大會新增一項評審準則,以市場社交媒體捕捉品牌人氣指數(簡稱BPI);透過四個分項指標來衡量一個品牌在社交媒體上的表現。指數的統計數據來自香港70個有信譽的和有代表性的網站,以測量數據的內容質量和用戶活躍水平。計算是基於在大中華地區,自2007年以來超過40億個討論帖,每天平均監測約70, 000名活躍網民及近350, 000篇討論貼文。

評審團成員乃獨立的業界資深人士,他們在評選基礎上判斷各參賽公司相配各獎項的標準。標準比率:優點和提交論文的質量佔總評分60%,評審團的經驗和專業意見佔20%,餘下的20%來自社會意見並通過品牌人氣指數(BPI)判斷的基礎上自行決定。

大會將頒發24個金融界最佳實務獎項包括「最佳表現獎」及「傑出成就奬」。得獎企業行政總裁與高級行政人員紛紛應邀出席是次頒獎盛會包括:富通保險、友邦香港、花旗銀行、星展銀行、恒生保險、匯豐保險、ING Life、宏利人壽保險、美國萬通保險、渣打銀行、永明金融、英國保誠等。(以上公司以英文次序排列)

榮獲零售銀行業及保險業的「最佳行政總裁」,得獎者分別為馮婉眉女士現任香港上海匯豐銀行有限公司行政總裁,盧德隆先生現任香港永明金融有限公司行政總裁。本年度「卓越成就」獎由司徒富瑞先生現任富通保險(亞洲)有限公司行政總裁獲得。
