We are delighted to share that Acquarius has been shortlisted for Boutique Firm of the Year (Non-Legal) at the 2026 STEP Private Client Awards, widely regarded as one of the highest honours in the international private client profession.
‍

Organised by STEP, the global professional body for practitioners advising families across generations, the awards recognise excellence across the private wealth sector. Open to firms around the world, each category is judged through a rigorous independent process, with only a small number of finalists selected.
‍

For Acquarius, this nomination reflects the principles that underpin our business. We believe in building long-term relationships, delivering technically robust solutions and providing the responsive, personal service that clients and professional advisers value.
‍

As an independent Gibraltar-based fiduciary, we work alongside lawyers, accountants, tax advisers and family offices to help clients navigate increasingly complex international structures. Being shortlisted alongside leading firms from around the world is an encouraging recognition of our people, our approach and the confidence our clients place in us.
‍

The shortlist also highlights Gibraltar's continued strength as an international private client centre.
‍

We are particularly pleased to see Adrian Pilcher TEP, Chair of STEP Gibraltar and Partner at ISOLAS, shortlisted for the Trusted Advisor of the Year award. Together, these nominations reflect the depth of expertise within Gibraltar's private client sector and the growing international recognition of the professionals working here.
‍

The winners will be announced at the STEP Private Client Awards ceremony in London on 17 September 2026.
‍

Whatever the outcome, we are proud to represent Gibraltar among the finalists. We also congratulate Adrian Pilcher on his nomination and recognise what these achievements say about Gibraltar as a whole. Recognition of this calibre reinforces the jurisdiction's reputation for excellence and reflects the quality of professionals who continue to make Gibraltar a trusted centre for international private wealth, fiduciary and corporate services.
