Stanbic IBTC

Stanbic IBTC Holdings PLC’s entities have won the Best Asset/Fund Management Company and Best Private Banking Business in Wealth and Society West Africa at the Global Wealth and Society Awards West Africa 2019. The awards further validate Stanbic IBTC’s standing as a leading end-to-end financial services organisation with market leadership across segments, including wealth management, corporate and investment banking, pension fund administration, stock broking, custody, trusteeship and others.

Stanbic IBTC Asset Management Limited won the Best Private Banking Business in Wealth and Society in West Africa, while Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers Limited picked the Best Asset/Fund Management Company in Wealth and Society also in the West Africa category.

The award ceremony was held in conjunction with a Roundtable Dialogue comprised of private bankers, impact investors, and related parties, at the Eko Hotel Lagos. These new accolades complement the numerous recognitions awarded to both companies in 2018.

“Being singled out among peers is gratifying and we are very pleased to have been selected for recognition as the Best Asset/Fund Management Company in West Africa. It is another prestigious award made possible by our esteemed and loyal customers. Our customers constantly challenge us through their patronage and positive feedback allowing us to push the envelope in innovative service to ensure they get full benefit of partnering with us,” Eric Fajemisin, chief executive, Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers Limited, said.

On his part, Oladele Sotubo, chief executive, Stanbic IBTC Asset Management Limited, expressed the firm’s delight for being recognized by such a reputable and credible organisation from a pool that includes some of the industry giants in Africa. He said the awards further demonstrate Stanbic IBTC’s strength and desire to consistently provide best-in-class financial services solutions across all market segments by leveraging on the expertise and rich heritage of the Standard Bank Group, to which Stanbic IBTC Holdings belongs.

“These awards are testament to our capabilities and competences across all business segments, and speak to our unwavering dedication to consistently deliver innovative and robust solutions to our clients,” Sotubo stated.

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