BANKING industry - Abstract
This section features the 2004 'Euromoney' Best Bank Awardees. HSBC wins the best bank for the year. Customers value its long-term approach to relationship banking and the fact that it has not been involved in the scandals that have enveloped so many of its peers. UBS has achieved what once seemed impossible for any European investment bank: it has entered into the front rank in the U.S. market. In the 12 months ending in April 2004 it doubled its shares in announced U.S. mergers and acquisitions deals, working on transactions such as the sale of WellPoint Health Networks to Anthem Inc. and merger of Regions Financial and Union Planters Corp. J.P. Morgan has been innovative in the field of best equity-linked bank in Europe as well as in the U.S. and Australia. Deutsche Bank is a dominant player in each area of risk management that has kept corporate treasurers, hedge fund traders and more traditional investors stable. UBS Wealth Management was voted as best global private bank. A global presence in wealth management has become a necessity for those wishing to capture the growing market in Asia and Europe, and no institution has managed to broaden its reach like UBS Wealth Management.
