Here are the winners and those who were highly commended in this year's annual WealthBriefingAsia awards.

Outstanding practitioners at this year's WealthBriefingAsia Awards were honoured last night at the Westin Singapore. Winners - and those who were highly commended - received their prizes at a gala event, completing another successful cycle in the programme organised by the publisher of this website. Further details about the awards can be viewed here. 

Among the highlights, Tan Su Shan, managing director and group head, consumer banking and wealth management at DBS Bank, received a lifetime achievement award. Tan's awards, and the fact that so many women were represented at the ceremony, was remarked on by awards host Stephen Harris - chief executive of ClearView Financial Media (publisher of this news service) - noting that the Asian wealth management industry appeared more open to the advancement of women than was the case for other regions.
