Pensions Expert’s annual awards are open for entries, with judges imploring providers that have not hid behind Covid excuses and managers that have truly set themselves apart on sustainability to come forward for consideration.
Now in their 22nd year, the Pension and Investment Provider Awards celebrate the companies contributing to a better retirement for today’s occupational pension savers. The PIPAs are accompanied by the Guide to Good Pensions, which aims to help workplace pension stakeholders make better buying decisions.
Winners and commended providers are picked because they have achieved outstanding performance, upheld the highest standards of service to their clients, and driven the innovation necessary to keep the industry moving forward.
Entries are heavily scrutinised by an experienced panel of pensions industry leaders, aided by collaboration with data providers.
For the first year, investment services assessments will be bolstered by performance and cost data derived from real mandates, delivered by ClearGlass.
This year also sees category-specific entry guidelines. Entrants are urged to read our submission requirements before sending. Full details of the awards process are available here, and questions can be directed to Angus Peters.
Two editions of the Guide to Good Pensions will be published in July and August, followed by a conference with an awards ceremony in October.
