서울--(뉴스와이어)--Citi has been named the top distributor of financial products in Asia Pacific via its consumer bank by Asian Investor Magazine. The award, the first year it has been awarded, was based on feedback from fund managers and other buy side professionals across Asia Pacific. Asian Investor Magazine, a leading monthly magazine for Asia Pacific’s investment industry, announced the award in Hong Kong in mid May at their annual Investment Performance awards.

“This recognition from the investment management industry in Asia underlines Citi's strength as the leading distributor of wealth management products in Asia. We will continue to invest in our franchise across the region to support our clients and our growth. This achievement is testament to the commitment of our country and regional teams to delivering an unrivalled range of investment solutions to our clients. Winning this prestigious award is an important endorsement and a great vote of confidence from the market in the Citibank brand,” said Jonathan Larsen, head of Consumer Banking Asia Pacific for Citi.

In the write up to accompany the award, the editor of Asian Investor Magazine said “Citi is perhaps the obvious choice among consumer banks as it has been the most active during a year in which activity among banks generally declined. It has been the most successful in generating interest among customers for mutual funds.”

Citi’s consumer bank in Asia Pacific is one of the fastest growing businesses for Citi globally. In the last 12 months Citi has continued to invest in its Consumer Banking franchise across Asia Pacific, such as launching mobile banking services in several new markets including China. Total branches in the region were 704 at the end of the first quarter of 2010 with 50 new branches opened in Asia Pacific in the last 12 months in markets including China, Japan, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Citi, the leading global financial services company, has approximately 200 million customer accounts and does business in more than 140 countries. Through Citicorp and Citi Holdings, Citi provides consumers, corporations, governments and institutions with a broad range of financial products and services, including consumer banking and credit, corporate and investment banking, securities brokerage, transaction services, and wealth management.
