SIB'S Representative Office Hosts Private Reception in Montreal

 

Stanford Private Wealth Management Chairman and CEO R. Allen Stanford and Stanford International Bank President Juan Rodriguez-Tolentino flew in from the Bank's Antigua headquarters to host the Bank's first private reception for Montreal business leaders and clients. The event honoured the Bank's receipt of the first licence for a representative office that Canada has granted to an independently owned bank in nearly a decade.

 

The celebration - a resounding success - served to underline the Bank's business initiatives and provided business leaders and clients with access to Allen Stanford, SPWM Chief Financial Officer James Davis, Stanford Trust Company President Anthony D'Aniello, Rodriguez-Tolentino and other senior management from the SPWM group of companies, as well as to the services and products of SIB and other Stanford affiliates.

 

"We are extremely pleased to be a part of the thriving Montreal commercial and financial centre," said Stanford. "We are in Montreal not only to better serve our Canadian business, but also to become part of the community as we have done in other countries.

 

"In the years ahead, private client wealth management will become increasingly more complex, and we welcome the opportunity to introduce our people, products and services to sophisticated leaders who appreciate our Build to Last philosophy and strategy, in business and in the community."

 

Alain Lapointe, SIB senior vice president, Representative Office in Montreal, said, "The celebration was an excellent venue for business leaders and clients to experience the very distinct Stanford approach in a social environment and to realize the depth of our commitment to serving their needs, a fact underscored by the attendance of our chairman, president, CFO and a number of senior management."

 

Along with Stanford, Davis, Rodriguez-Tolentino, D'Aniello and Lapointe, on hand to greet invited guests were Stanford Group Holdings Managing Director Danny Bogar and Stanford Group Company Managing Director/Institutional Division Rocky Stein.
