PP Investment Awards 2024: The winners

The winners of this year's awards - which celebrate industry excellence among asset managers who serve UK occupational pension schemes - were announced at a reception in London yesterday evening (20 November).

The awards, now in their 11th 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, one of the leading investment consultants in the market.

The shortlist was broadly based on performance over the 12 months to 30 June 2024 but 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 2024 AND strong performance over a three-year time period.

Shortlisted entrants were then asked to complete a questionnaire asking them what made them stand out from their peers in terms of innovation, client service, sustainability, diversity and inclusion.

The winners in each of the categories were then decided by a distinguished panel of industry judges.
