Crossinvest lifts second major gong in five months

Crossinvest named as Best Discretionary & Advisory firm in Asia at PBI awards

Singapore-based Crossinvest has just claimed the accolade, Best Discretionary & Advisory Offering 2017 at the Private Banker International (PBI) awards.

Crossinvest went one better this year after being Highly Commended in the same awards category last year.

This latest award comes on the back of Crossinvest being voted the Best Independent Wealth Manager in Asia at the Wealth Briefing Asia Awards 2017

Rohit Bhuta, Crossinvest’s CEO, commented: “Last year we were punching above our weight and now this year we are at that weight. We have a strong team of investment professionals with an unwavering commitment to build a private wealth proposition that is best in class - lifting this award serves as an endorsement of this commitment.

“To come up against the biggest and best private banks in Asia and to come out on the top of the pile is a fantastic achievement for our team.  This just goes to prove that size indeed does not really matter – our small team of experienced investment professionals has demonstrated that we are a worldwide force to be reckoned with.

“This is a testament to our strategy and resolve. We offer a medium- to- long term risk-based, multi asset, multi jurisdictional investment portfolios to our clients and ensure that the underlying assets that we select for investing in are best in class. Our independence in its truest sense of the word enables a complete alignment of interests with our clients, something that our industry peers have grappled with. Winning this award after having been judged against the bigger global peers goes a long way towards reinforcing our proposition.

Crossinvest founders, Lara and Christophe Audergon, commented, “Winning this award amidst the highly reputed organisations in this field is a significant achievement and milestone in Crossinvest's history.”

Mr Audergon added: “Last year I said Crossinvest had stood tall and had earned the right to walk along with global banking giants. This year’s recognition cements this right for Crossinvest to stand tall and walk amongst the giants.”
