The awards honour excellence in product design, distribution to and servicing of intermediary customers in the international life markets and are a highly sought-after accolade in an increasingly competitive environment.
They are given to life companies in the UK, Middle East and Asia and, for the first time, 2012’s awards will also honour those firms operating in Europe.
This year the awards are very kindly sponsored by HSBC Global Asset Management.
