REYL Finance MEA (part of the REYL Intesa Sanpaolo group) is proud to have been 
awarded the "Best Overall Fund Manager - Regional/Global Reach" accolade at the 
annual WealthBriefing MENA Awards for Excellence 2022 ceremony held in Dubai 
last night.

The WealthBriefing MENA Awards for Excellence are dedicated to celebrating 
excellence and rewarding achievement in the private banking and wealth 
management market across the MENA region. These are part of a global programme 
run by WealthBriefing and its sister publications WealthBriefingAsia and Family 
Wealth Report, encompassing all of the world's major wealth management centres.

Selected by a panel of regionally-based and independent judges drawn from both 
private banks and trusted advisors to the sector, the award sets REYL apart 
from its peers and recognises both continued achievements and innovation for 
the Group. The period examined saw the acquisition by REYL Intesa Sanpaolo of a 
40% interest in 1875 Finance, a multi-family office and external asset manager, 
enabling both entities to play an active role in the accelerating consolidation 
of the External Asset Management sector globally. REYL Intesa Sanpaolo further 
strengthened its offering by launching several initiatives including Asteria 
Investment Managers, its impact investing affiliate, as well as Alpian, a fully 
digital private bank targeting the mass-affluent segment. In March 2022, it 
also appointed Jon Duncan as Chief Impact Officer, to lead impact activities 
and align REYL's activities with the global transition to a low carbon, 
resource-efficient and socially inclusive growth path.

Key to winning the award was REYL Intesa Sanpaolo's truly collaborative 
approach between business units and offices. The judges were impressed by the 
winner's innovative range of funds with a focus on impact. REYL Intesa Sanpaolo 
continues to differentiate itself from its competitors by delivering 360-degree 
management of clients' personal and corporate wealth across borders and 
activity segments.

Nicolas Farah, Chief Executive Officer of REYL Finance MEA, said: "We have 
enjoyed a very successful track-record within the MENA region, with 7 
consecutive years of growth in assets under management. Being awarded Best 
Overall Fund Manager further cements our strong reputation and underlines why 
our clients entrust us with their money. It's always good to receive industry 
and peer recognition for the quality of service that we offer and we hope that 
this accolade will extend our visibility and bring with it further growth and 
success."
