The 2009 Daily Telegraph Wealth Management Awards were held in the afternoon of October 2nd at the Royal Bank of Scotland Auditorium, as part of the Securities Industry Conference. The awards were chosen by private investors voting on the Stockbroking Guide website, www.stockbrokingguide.com.

Winners received their awards from Carol Thatcher, who entertained the audience with anecdotes about her parents, former Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher and the late Sir Denis Thatcher, as well as tales of her own rainforest adventures on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.
