Chris Meares, CEO of HSBC Private Bank, took the individual
global prize for Outstanding Private Banker, while Thomas L.
Kalaris of Barclays Wealth took the award for Outstanding Strategy
in Wealth Management.
The awards came in the middle of a two-day conference organised
by VRL, publisher of PBI, a series of debates and
presentations from some of the most influential players in the
industry.
The key takeaway from the event were that efforts need to be
redoubled to provide advisory services to clients.

private banking, presented exclusive research showing only 20
