Winners included Partnership in the Best Enhanced Annuity Provider category, Aviva in the Best Lifetime Mortgage Provider category, Bridgewater Equity Release in the Best Home Reversion Provider category and Canada Life in the Most Competitive Annuity Provider category.

During the lunch, the winners of the Good Advice Awards were also revealed. Winners included Informed Choice in the Best Retirement Adviser category and Cavendish Equity Release in the Best Equity Release Adviser category.

Richard Eagling, editor of Investment Life & Pensions Moneyfacts, said: “It may have has been another challenging year for the financial services industry, but product providers have not been resting on their laurels.

“Indeed, the testing environment appears to have encouraged even more providers to enhance their propositions and improve their customer service in an attempt to stand out from the crowd.

“All the winners and finalists at this year’s Investment Life & Pensions Moneyfacts Awards should be proud of their achievements and have set exemplary standards for the rest of the industry to follow.”
