Nextvestment Receives Global Private Banker WealthTech Award at Capella Singapore

On the evening of 4 June 2026, the full Nextvestment team took the stage at Capella Singapore to receive the Best Emerging Wealth Insights & Engagement Platform Award at the Global Private Banking Innovation Awards 2026 Gala Dinner.

Nextvestment was represented by the full team: CEO and Co-Founder Michael Davies, CRO and Co-Founder Annabelle Lin, CTO and Co-Founder Avenash Kabeera, Product Lead Shiyin Chan, and Head of Growth Michelle Chern.

The Evening

The Global Private Banking Innovation Awards bring together financial institutions, private banks, and wealth technology companies from across the world. Capella Singapore hosted the gala dinner, with banking and wealth management leaders from across APAC and beyond in attendance.

This is Nextvestment’s third industry recognition in 2026, following the WealthTech100 designation for a second consecutive year and the SC Ventures AI & Fintech Pitch Competition win earlier this year.

The Acceptance Speech

Michael delivered the acceptance speech on behalf of the team. The evening was a reminder of what the work is actually for: building AI that sounds like one trusted institutional voice across every client touchpoint, at every institution in the room.

The Recognition

The award was first announced in April 2026 following adjudication by Global Private Banker’s judging panel. Global Private Banker described Nextvestment as enabling wealth institutions to translate client behaviours and natural-language queries into prioritised, adviser-ready intent signals and compliant next-best actions, with full traceability, auditability, and institutional control maintained throughout.

What It Takes to Build for Institutions

Building AI for regulated wealth enterprises is not the same as wiring up a language model. Data governance, compliance boundaries, house view alignment, auditability, and traceability are foundational requirements. Every one of those was a deliberate architectural decision in how Nextvestment was built, and the platform reflects that from the ground up.

The clients who put real production workloads on the platform understood this before the awards did.

Why This Award Matters

When we started building Nextvestment, the belief was straightforward. Wealth institutions cannot scale advice, retain clients, and stay compliant using the same tools they have always used. The market has moved. Clients expect faster, more personalised guidance. Relationship managers need better intelligence, not more dashboards. Institutions need governance, auditability, and trust built into every interaction.

That is the gap Nextvestment is built for. To the institutions already live with us: your trust is what makes this recognition meaningful.

The Room

The conversations across the room that evening reflected how much the industry has moved. The institutions and technology companies gathered at Capella are the ones actively navigating what it means to deploy AI in a regulated, advice-driven context.

These are the conversations Nextvestment is built for.

At Nextvestment, we are the Institutional Intelligence Layer for regulated wealth institutions, helping banks, private banks, and wealth managers deliver financial guidance that is scalable, explainable, and institution-grade, within existing compliance and disclosure frameworks.

If your institution is thinking about what it means to have AI that sounds like one trusted institutional voice across every client interaction, it’s worth a conversation. Request a 15-minute demo with us.
