Considered to be the benchmark of the industry, representatives from leading global private banking institutions attended the PBI Awards Gala Dinner on October 13th, 2011 in Singapore.

Jeremy Norton, CAIS Managing Principal and Head of Asia accepted the finalist award on behalf of the firm.

"We are honored to receive this recognition, not just for being an exceptional alternatives solutions provider, but for maintaining an industry-leading platform that continues to address the changing needs of the global private banking industry," said Mr. Norton, "We set out to build a truly independent, end-to-end solution for the private banking sector and we remain committed servicing clients."

The CAIS platform offers a streamlined operating environment which provides fund access, independent due diligence, analytical tools, and product education.
