Judges have unveiled which companies impressed them most in the provider categories of this year’s Corporate Adviser awards.

A full shortlist for each of the 13 categories is published below, as the countdown to the awards ceremony on Thursday 27th June begins.

These awards recognise excellence and innovation across the DC pensions, group risk, healthcare, wellbeing and investment industry, with the awards judged by a panel of advisers and consultants.

This year awards will include the best group pension provider, the ultimate default fund, the best decumulation proposition, the best ESG default fund, the best ESG asset manager, the best healthcare provider, the best group risk provider, the best cash plan provider and the best employee benefits technology platform. There are a number of new awards including the best DC unlisted assets manager.

Shortlisted providers have until 26th April 2024 to file their 1,000 word submission, explaining why they deserve to win the award in that category. Shortlists are then considered by the Corporate Adviser Panel of 35 intermediaries at in-person and online judging sessions in May. The Corporate Adviser Panel judges will be unveiled next week.

This year the prestigious awards ceremony will be held at London Bankside Hilton on 27th June. Click here to reserve at table and find out more details about the event.
