About the PAM Awards and Entry Process:

The U.S. private asset management industry’s PAM Awards provide a platform to showcase the achievements of top investment professionals, wealth advisors, legal firms, consultants and other key service providers operating within the sector.

The 2021 Award for Best Private Wealth Manager Under $5B-Client Service was determined based on a category specific questionnaire, including several subject areas: competitive distinctions, business model, client numbers/assets, services and products offered, growth metrics, and development of service offerings. Each submission was evaluated by an independent panel of at least three judges from a broad range of industry expertise.

The 2020 Award for Best Multi-Family Office Over $2B was determined based on PAM firms completing a category specific submission addressing the criteria highlighted by the Panel which included an in-depth questionnaire of approximately 40 questions across several subject areas, encapsulating: group structure and personnel; investment management process; pooled funds/unlisted securities; regulation and investor protection; and fees, charges and interest.

The 2018 and 2017 Awards for Best Private Wealth Manager Under $5B were determined based on financial progress (performance track-record over the course of the last twelve months); growth (client numbers, internal hires and geographic expansion); client satisfaction (evidence of client satisfaction, including evidence of exceptional service and direct client statements); and product Innovation (details of new services and products launched over the prior year).

The 2014 Award for Best Multi-Family Office Overall was determined based on commercial success and business growth; positive client feedback via submitted testimonials; description of new product, its genesis and how it was created; and demonstration of product Innovation.

PAM does not release statistics on the number of firms competing.
