Professional Pensions Investment Awards 2017 | Professional Pension | Jumeirah Carlton Tower, 1 Cadogan Pl, Belgravia, London SW1X 9PY, UK

The Professional Pensions Investment Awards celebrate excellence among the asset managers who serve UK occupational pension schemes. The awards, now in their fourth year, recognise asset managers over a broad range of specialisms - and shine the spotlight on those whose achievements may not always be recognised by the more general UK Pensions Awards.

The awards process is unique within the industry - with the shortlist being drawn up in association with Aon Hewitt, one of the leading investment consultants in the market, highlighting those asset managers who have demonstrated both excellent performance and relative growth in assets under management.

Shortlisted entrants will then be asked to complete an entry detailing how they differentiate themselves from their peers - detailing the product and client service innovations they have made over the 12 months to 30 June 2017.

The winners in each category will then be decided by a distinguished panel of industry judges and will be announced at an awards lunch on 24th November at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower, London in Knightsbridge, London.
