CAF was highly commended for our philanthropy offering in
Thursday’s WealthBriefing
European Awards - coming second to BNP Paribas.
The WealthBriefing award recognises the companies, teams and
individuals that have ‘demonstrated innovation and excellence
during 2013’ in the wealth management, private banking and advisor
communities.
The dedicated CAF Philanthropy Services team work day in and day
out with private clients on philanthropy. It benefits from being
part of a global non profit organisation that specialises in
providing financial services and philanthropy advisory services to
private clients, companies and charities.
As specialists in an organisation with an 80 year history, the
depth of intelligence allows for a high level of innovation.
Headquartered in the UK, there is a global outlook with offices in
8 other offices around the world. We are leaders at managing
philanthropic capital and last year distributed over £428 million
in 2012/13 to charities, and have close to £3bn assets under
management. Currently, we work with 280,000 donors and support
50,000 charities with a specialist Private Client team for High Net
Worth Individuals.
Commenting on CAF being highly commended, David Stead, our
Director of Development said:
“It's wonderful to see CAF's highly experienced Philanthropy
team commended in this way. Wealthy donors have turned to CAF for
advice for over 80 years about all and any issues related to
charitable giving but somehow we have remained low
profile!
Thank you to our clients around the world for the trust they put
in us and the increasing number of top firms partnering with us to
enhance what they offer."
Commenting on the evening's events, Lara Leigh-Wood, our
Philanthropy Services Senior Development Manager said:
"The Guildhall looked magnificent. It was the first time that
CAF had entered into the awards. Many of other nominees were
pleasantly surprised to see us and spoke about the inspiring side
of philanthropy for client relations and its suitable place in
financial planning, wealth management and tax advisory. We had a
wonderful night and look forward to next year. Fingers
crossed!"
The winners were announced at a gala awards dinner which was
held at The Guildhall, City of London on 15 May 2014.
