What are the awards all about?
It has never been more important to highlight those organisations that
provide consistently outstanding products and service. Rigorous product
monitoring is carried out throughout the preceding year and the adviser
community is also consulted for their feedback. The annual Investment
Life & Pensions Moneyfacts Awards ceremony is the pinnacle of the
year’s product and service advocacy, continuing to grow year-on-year
and attracting excellent feedback.

How are organisations shortlisted?
Providers
The finalists and eventual winners of the Investment Life & Pensions
Moneyfacts Awards are decided upon via a combination of methods. For all
product-specific categories, there are two elements. The first is a financial
adviser voting process that takes place between 9 March 2015 and 22 May
2015 where advisers are asked to nominate their top three providers
across the full range of protection, retirement and investment products.
Advisers are free to nominate any provider they desire, rather than
selecting from a pre-determined shortlist of providers. These results are
then added to the analytical expertise of our research team who monitor
each provider’s product pricing and features during the preceding 12month period. For service categories, the awards are based purely on the
adviser voting process.
Advisers
Throughout spring 2015, entries will be invited from the adviser
community. Advisers complete a questionnaire providing details of their
organisation, their level of expertise and how they deliver their advice
proposition. They are also asked to support their nomination with client
testimonials and evidence of their ability to deliver award-winning service.
From the initial entries, a shortlist is drawn up, based on the quality of the
submissions. Those shortlisted companies are then judged by a panel of
industry experts.

Why should we book tables?
We hope that all providers have enough confidence in their products to
think that they can win – and who wouldn’t want to be there to pick up
an award? In addition, many organisations take the opportunity to invite
key contacts, using the event as a networking and hospitality opportunity,
or they invite staff to the event as a reward. The high number of
organisations that we see at the event year-on-year is a testament to the
value they place on the awards and the quality of the event itself.
