Spear's

The latest issue of Spear’s magazine features the winners from The Spear’s Awards 2022. We assemble a judging panel of genuine subject-matter experts and, unlike, many other awards ceremonies, ensure there is no cost to enter. But the more important thing to note is why we feature the individuals and the firms that we do: because our research team considers them to be the very best in their field and their expertise is relevant to our readers. This year’s winners include: OWO Residences, Catherine Bedford, Strive Masiyiwa, HSBC and more. Speaking of established institutions, our cover story by Martin Vander Weyer examines the predicament Credit Suisse finds itself in from it’s history of scandals to present day appointment of new CEO Ulrich Körner. Can it withstand the uphill struggle? Meanwhile, Joseph Bullmore takes a turn of the family office conference circuit to ask why a bombastic showman was able to fool people for so long. And editor Edwin Smith reports back from New York’s financial district where the banks are moving out but the metropolitan sophisticates are moving in. As ever, there’s much more including a trip to Clinique La Prairie, a Midas interview with Anne Robinson, and Mayfair’s new modern classic restaurant.
