• Honoured as Best Pure Play/Boutique Private Bank and Best for Discretionary Portfolio Management in both regions

Lombard Odier Group has received 13 awards at Euromoney’s 2025 Private Banking Awards, including four distinctions for excellence in the Middle East and the United Arab Emirates. The firm was named Best Pure Play/Boutique Private Bank in both the Middle East and the UAE, underlining the world class wealth management expertise it has developed in the region over more than 50 years. Lombard Odier was also awarded Best for Discretionary Portfolio Management for both the Middle East and the UAE, in recognition, among other reasons, of its market-leading, Shariah-compliant discretionary mandate.

Presented at a ceremony in London, these awards underscore Lombard Odier’s long-standing commitment to the region and its focus on delivering innovative solutions and robust investment strategies tailored to the Middle Eastern market. This year, Lombard Odier was also pleased to receive two global awards “World’s Best Chief Investment Office” and “World’s Best for Succession Planning”, highlighting the Group’s core wealth management and investment expertise.
