CHICAGO, March 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Family Office Exchange (FOX), the industry-leading membership organization for successful businesses and family enterprises, was recognized with two thought leadership awards on Wednesday night at the 6th annual Family Wealth Report Awards.

Showcasing best-in-class providers in the global private banking, wealth management, and trusted advisor communities, the awards recognize companies, teams, and individuals deemed to have ‘demonstrated innovation and excellence during 2018’ by the prestigious panel of judges.

Founder and CEO Sara Hamilton was recognized for her individual thought leadership and heralded as a pioneer in the wealth management space. Based on her vision, FOX has become a singular authority on family offices and produces research of the very highest quality. FOX was also recognized for collective thought leadership as a preeminent membership organization for family offices with a reputation for the quality and breadth of its service. According to the judges, the wide range of thought-provoking studies produced by FOX never cease to stimulate individual and collective thought.

Commenting on the firm’s recognition, Sara Hamilton said: “We are delighted to have been voted the winner of these prestigious thought leadership awards. I am personally honored and proud of our dedicated team at FOX. It is especially momentous as we celebrate our 30^th anniversary this year—a generation of working with families. It has been our pleasure to engage with sophisticated members who are complex, thoughtful, and continually evolving.”

ClearView Financial Media’s CEO, and Publisher of Family Wealth Report, Stephen Harris, was first to extend his congratulations to all the winners.  He said: “The firms who triumphed in these awards are all worthy winners, and I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations. These awards were judged solely on the basis of entrants’ submissions and their response to a number of specific questions, which had to be answered focusing on the client experience, not quantitative performance metrics. That is a unique, and I believe, compelling feature. These awards recognize the very best operators in the private client industry, with ‘independence’, ‘integrity’ and ‘genuine insight’ the watchwords of the judging process—such that the awards truly reflect excellence in wealth management.”
