COMMENDED FOR ITS INVESTMENTIN PEOPLE & TECH
Lombard International Group was Highly Commended in the Most Effective Investment Service Offering category at the virtual PBI Global Wealth Awards 2021 for its investment in its employees’ skills, knowledge, and the technology that supports their partners, clients and colleagues.
Lombard International Group provides tailored insurance based wealth, estate and succession planning solutions across multiple jurisdictions and asset classes, focusing on affluent, ultra and high-net worth individuals, their families and institutions. It has 500+ experienced wealth structuring specialists, subject-matter and technical experts globally, serving over 20 markets across Asia, Europe, Latin America and the US. 40 different nationalities speak over 30 different languages, providing a deep understanding of regional cultural nuances, needs, and requirements.
Market knowledge and expertise is supported by technology, trend spotting and online transactional capabilities. The Group’s strategy is focused on digital transformation, underpinned by operational and service excellence. Under this framework, it continues to further invest in technology, enhancing its global connectivity, strengthening its geographic footprint, whilst also investing in inhouse talent and market expertise.
This is why Lombard International Group’s Investment Service Offering was recognized at the 31st annual staging of the PBI Global Wealth Awards, held on 8 October, virtually this year. And it’s not just the Private Banker International judges who were impressed. According to an industry survey of c.700 wealth professionals across 12 European countries, carried out by Lombard International Assurance, in association with Accenture Luxembourg, the company was found to be the preferred provider in Europe by almost half of the respondents.
The survey – see https://www.wealthassurancereport. com/ – was carried out between 15th September and 31st October 2020. As well as identifying Lombard International Assurance as a European leader among the majority of wealth advisers questioned across Luxembourg, Switzerland, France, Italy, and Germany, alongside seven other European countries, the other key finding from the report was that 75% of wealth professionals across Europe, predict the level of digitalisation over the next three years will be either “high” or “very high”.
Lombard International Group is well placed to meet this expectation with its significant investment in technology and its focus on combining the best elements of a digital infrastructure with human expertise. It is this combination that will provide the level of service that clients expect, and indeed why Lombard International Group has been highly commended.
