The Organizing Committee of SPEAR’S Russia Wealth Management Awards 2013 has announced the start of its annual polling of professionals from private banking, wealth management and related industries in order to determine the shortlist of award nominees.

From 23rd October through 11th November, the participants will be asked to identify the first, second and third places in each category. Once PwC – the Independent Consultant of the Awards – approves the results, the Organizing Committee will announce the final shortlists in each category.
