Spear's presents its annual awards for private banks, wealth managers and family advisers at Raffles London on Whitehall on Tuesday 3 November 2026.
Spear’s, the wealth magazine launched in 2006, presents its annual awards for private banks, wealth managers, lawyers and family advisers at Raffles London on Whitehall on Tuesday 3 November 2026.
The magazine is written for ultra-high-net-worth families, and its readers hold average assets above £5 million. The bankers, lawyers and family offices who advise them read it too.
The awards have run for more than a decade, and the private client world calls the night its Oscars. This year’s shortlist covers 18 categories across wealth management, law, property and philanthropy.
An independent panel of specialists judges most categories, sitting with two members of the Spear’s team. The Impact Award and Entrepreneur of the Year are decided by Spear’s alone.
For a family whose money sits with these firms, the shortlist names the advisers their peers rate highest. The evening runs from a drinks reception through dinner to the ceremony, with carriages at 00:00.
Raffles London occupies the Old War Office on Whitehall. Entry to the awards was free, which Spear’s says keeps the judging on merit.
