Independent Trust Company of the year
Estera, a provider of fiduciary and administration services, has been shortlisted for two prestigious international awards.
It has been nominated as Independent Trust Company of the Year in the Citywealth Magic Circle Awards 2017, and the firm’s CEO Farah Ballands has been shortlisted in the ‘Women in Wealth Management’ category of the WealthBriefing European Awards 2017.
The Magic Circle Awards recognise the best advisors and managers in the international financial sector.
Each category finalist is selected by a judging panel made up of 10 industry experts and the winner is then chosen by a public vote.
WealthBriefing’s ‘Women in Wealth Management’ award identifies remarkable women in the private banking or wealth management sector who are an inspiration to colleagues and clients.
The winners are selected by two separate expert judging panels.
Estera was launched in 2016 following the management buyout of Appleby Fiduciary Business from the Appleby Group.
Farah successfully led the MBO before overseeing the re branding of the business, which employs more than 370 professionals across 10 jurisdictions, including more than 50 people at its Douglas office.
