What are these awards all about?
The Professional Pensions Investment Awards celebrate excellence among the asset managers who serve UK workplace pension schemes. The awards process is unique within the industry - with the shortlist being drawn up in association with Aon, one of the leading investment consultants in the market - highlighting those asset managers who have demonstrated excellent performance over the 12 months to 30 June 2020. However, we also recognised the need for consistent performance so entrants were only shortlisted if they demonstrated both excellent performance over the 12 months to 30 June 2020 AND strong performance over a three-year time period. Shortlisted entrants were then asked to complete an entry detailing how they differentiated themselves from their peers – detailing the product and client service innovations they have made over the past year. The winners in each category were then decided by a distinguished panel of industry judges.
