The group has also started providing advisory services to mid-mark business owners and introduced its first self-issued and distributed structured products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This matters because about 50% of the bank&#8217;s UHNW clients are self-employed entrepreneurs, which opens up the opportunity for the private-wealth and commercial-banking businesses to work together in serving these business owners,&#8221; Euromoney said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RMB Private Bank was also crowned the winner of the new categories of South Africa&#8217;s Best Private Bank for Discretionary Portfolio Management, Succession Planning and Sustainability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RMB said its accomplishments are partially due to its ability to leverage big data, modern technologies, and advisory skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard Bank Wealth and Investment scored three accolades &#8211; Best Domestic Private Bank, Best for Family-office Services and Best for Next-Gen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Next-Gen award looks at the next generation of clients, with Africa&#8217;s largest bank praised for its SBG, Shyft and My360 mobile apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed
