On 21 April 2010, the Financial Adviser Life and Pensions awards took place in London. These awards recognise product provider excellence and are voted for by the readers of Financial Adviser, one of the UKs leading trade publications.
There were three different award categories for pensions: best individual pension provider, best group pension provider and best overall pension provider. AEGON won all three categories.
In addition to winning the three pension awards, AEGON was also highly commended in the category of Income Drawdown and commended in the categories of Life Assurance, Term Assurance and Protection.
Duncan Jarrett, Sales Director for AEGON UK was on hand to collect the awards, and said: “We’re delighted to have won all three pension awards. This is a remarkable achievement considering the awards are voted for by our intermediary customers, the readers of Financial Adviser. These awards reflects our ongoing commitment to providing financial advisers and their clients with flexible retirement solutions, clear and helpful marketing material and an excellent level of customer service. We also believe another important factor to our success was our approach over the last year to guidance and education.”
