GREENWICH, CT--(Marketwire - Oct 25, 2012) - Private Banker International (PBI), the leading journal for the global wealth management industry, has recognized Fieldpoint Private with its prestigious Editor's Special Award. The honor, which recognizes a young firm that has made its mark quickly in the wealth management arena, was announced in Singapore on October 24, 2012, at the Global Wealth Awards.1
Fieldpoint Private was launched in 2008 by a group of 31 high-profile business leaders, among them former Merrill Lynch Chairmen and CEOs William Schreyer, Daniel Tully and David Komansky; Home Depot co-founders Kenneth Langone and Bernard Marcus; TD Ameritrade Chairman, Joseph Moglia; UBS Americas Chairman Emeritus, Joseph Grano; Time Inc.
