Bank Sarasin is awarded “Summa Cum Laude” for the sixth year in a row by the Elite Report – The Top asset Managers’09
This is the sixth consecutive year that Bank Sarasin has been awarded “summa cum laude”, the highest accolade possible, in the ELITE REPORT – THE TOP ASSET MANAGERS. Last night at the annual gala event organised in Munich by the Elite Report, which is sponsored by the German business newspaper Handelsblatt, the prizes were awarded for the top asset managers in German-speaking countries. As in the past five years, Bank Sarasin once again managed to retain its top position in Germany and Switzerland. The prestigious award generates a lot of interest from a steadily growing group of clients looking for genuine quality.
Extract from the current Elite Report on Bank Sarasin:
"Sarasin's qualities as an exemplary Swiss financial institution are particularly impressive. This august bank has relationship managers who are extremely thorough in the advisory service they provide to clients. The excellent value provided, which has attracted repeated and high praise in the past, is still consistently positive and stable. The commitment to the individual and to the practical tasks following on from that, such as portfolio structuring, is fully developed and, most importantly, genuine! Above all, Sarasin is increasingly making its presence felt in Germany. From its new Frankfurt base, the quality that is Sarasin's hallmark will certainly generate a lot of interest in Germany and attract discerning and loyal customers."
Last year Bank Sarasin, which specialises in sustainable asset management and investment advisory services, received a “Golden Pyramid with Diamond”, a special award for coming top for five years in a row. This is now the sixth consecutive year that Bank Sarasin’s consistently high quality of asset management has been acknowledged with the accolade of “summa cum laude”. Of all the Swiss asset managers active in the German market, Sarasin is the only one to have achieved top place.
The “summa cum laude” award crowns a very exciting year
“We are delighted to have come top in the Elite Report for the sixth consecutive year. It’s a great compliment to all the Bank’s employees. The award is an important marker for us, as it shows that Bank Sarasin has managed to expand its presence in Germany despite a very challenging environment,” comments a delighted Frank Niehage, CEO of Bank Sarasin AG in Germany.
“This award substantiates our philosophy: individual advice and top quality are crucial success factors in asset management, and ones that Bank Sarasin has always encouraged and continuously developed. Our top position is recognition of our hard work and confirms that we are on the right track,” says Eric G. Sarasin, member of the Executive Committee of Bank Sarasin & Co. Ltd.
One of the key reasons for Bank Sarasin securing top place once again was its successful and leading market position in the area of sustainable private banking. Here Sarasin once again came top of all the asset managers thanks to the excellent quality of its investment advice and its clear focus on the needs of its clients. Bank Sarasin also won first place in the categories “Quality & depth of asset management culture” and “Leading bank in Germany”.
