Boris Collardi, chief executive of Bank Julius Baer, has again topped WealthBulletin’s list of 40 Rising Stars aged under 40 in European wealth management in 2009. Since winning last year’s poll Collardi has moved up to one of the most powerful roles in European wealth management, heading Bank Julius Baer.

Indeed, at least eight of last year's top 40 have been promoted to more senior positions within the wealth management industry, proving the merits of appearing on the definitive list of top Risings Stars in European Wealth Management.
