<strong>We</strong>lcome to this special report on the 2012 PAM Awards.<br />
This year marked the 13th annual PAM Awards ceremony, which took<br />
place at the Dorchester hotel on Thursday 1st March.<br />
<strong>The</strong> PAM Awards programme is firmly established as the leading platform<br />
for the acknowledgement of excellence <strong>and</strong> achievement in the private asset<br />
management marketplace. In total 64 managers began the entry process to<br />
the Awards this year, with a record number (32) of the firms being shortlisted as finalists vying for the 12<br />
Awards. This year the Cautious, Defensive <strong>and</strong> Growth Investment Performance categories received a<br />
very high number of entries. <strong>The</strong> competition for the PAM Awards gets greater <strong>and</strong> greater every year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ard of submission is very high. This is a good opportunity for me to thank the teams who put so<br />
much time <strong>and</strong> effort into <strong>their</strong> entries.<br />
One of the new additions to the judging process was the introduction of presentations to a Judging<br />
Panel for companies <strong>and</strong> firms being considered as finalists. This took place a month before the Awards<br />
<strong>and</strong> again I would like to thank the Judges <strong>and</strong> management teams for the additional time put in here.<br />
One of the reasons why the PAM Awards has such a strong reputation is because of the quality of the<br />
Judging Panel. It is made up of 15 leading independent experts in wealth management <strong>and</strong> investment<br />
consulting. A big ‘Thank You’ to them for <strong>their</strong> time, wise counsel <strong>and</strong> support throughout the<br />
deliberation process.<br />
This special report contains an exclusive article on the winning firms’ thoughts on <strong>their</strong> success, profiles<br />
on PAM Awards Judging Panel <strong>and</strong> photographs from the PAM Awards ceremony itself.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 2012 PAM Awards were sponsored by Aberdeen Asset Management, Advent Software, BITA<br />
Risk, Cerebral Palsy Sport, CarryQuote, JHC, Premier Corporate Mail Ltd, TD <strong>We</strong>alth Institutional <strong>and</strong><br />
Spencer House Partners. <strong>The</strong> Awards are supported by Louis Roederer Champagne, Asset Risk<br />
Consultants, www.thewealthnet.com, www.eprivateclient.com <strong>and</strong> Private Client Practitioner Events.<br />
I would like to encourage firms that did not enter this year to consider entering the 2013 PAM Awards,<br />
which will take place on Thursday 7th March. <strong>The</strong> Judges Feedback I give to entrants, who are supporters<br />
of PAM, after the Awards can be invaluable management information in helping firms shape <strong>their</strong><br />
corporate strategy going forward. Firms considering entry need to indicate which of the 12 categories they<br />
are going to enter by the beginning of September.<br />
Once again, I would like to extend my congratulations to all those that were named as finalists <strong>and</strong>, of<br />
course, to the winning firms.<br />
