‘OVERALL ASIA WEALTHTECH PROVIDER’Award
Lu International was established in Singapore in 2017 as Lufax Holding's first international arm. Since then, it has progressively extended its operations and market reach in Asia. Being based in Singapore, a gateway to Southeast Asia, as well as being one of Singapore's first wealth management platforms providing end-to-end online account opening services and investment operations, Lu International is well positioned to be the fintech enabler of choice for traditional financial institutions in the region that endeavor to provide convenient, efficient, intelligent and personalized digital financial services to investors.

ClearView Financial Media's CEO, and Publisher of WealthBriefing, Stephen Harris, was first to extend his congratulations to all the winners. He said: "The organizations and individuals who triumphed in these awards are all worthy winners, and I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations to the winners and to those who have put so much work into each winning submission.
"These awards were independently and expertly judged solely on the basis of entrants' submissions and their response to a number of specific questions, which were answered by focusing on the client experience rather than purely quantitative performance metrics. That is a unique, and I believe, compelling feature. These awards recognise the very best operators in Asia wealth management, with 'independence', 'integrity' and 'genuine insight' the watchwords of the judging process - such that the awards truly reflect excellence in Asia wealth management."
