Pension and Investment Provider Awards 2021 | Financial Times | 5 February 2021 | TBA

The Pensions and Investment Provider Awards celebrate the companies contributing to a better retirement for today's occupational pension savers. The PIPAs, and the accompanying Guide to Good Pensions, are Pensions Expert’s processes for researching, evaluating and recognising the performance and quality of service provided by financial services companies serving pension fund trustees and sponsors.

Winners and commended providers from these prestigious awards, now in their 22nd year, 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 to deliver recommendations that pension decision-makers can trust. Entries are open now.
