During 2007, Insight Investment Management (Global) Limited (“Insight Investment”) was conferred two prestigious pension and investment awards, the FT Business Pension and Investment Provider Award and Global Pensions Award both in the Liability-Driven Investment category.

The FT Business Pension and Investment Provider Awards seek to recognise excellence in providers of products and services to UK occupational pension schemes. The key criteria used to adjudicate the awards are performance, innovation, service standards and the competitive edge of providers.

The Global Pensions Awards allows Global Pensions’ international readership to acknowledge the best of the best within the pensions industry. An exhaustive process is undertaken to come up with the nominees and winners. The award of Liability-Driven Investment Manager of the Year was granted by a distinguished panel of international judges, made up of key decision makers from the pensions industry.

Andrew Giles, Head of Financial Solutions Group at Insight Investment said “We are very pleased to win these awards. Insight Investment was launched in 2002 with a clear vision to offer tailored investment solutions to clients. For institutional clients, this recognised that each defined benefit pension scheme had its own unique liability profile and funding strategy which required bespoke investment solutions to manage risk and generate returns. With Insight Investment managing £29 billion as part of a liability-driven investment solution, we are delighted to have our expertise recognised by being awarded.”

Insight Investment is a shareholder of Valletta Fund Management Limited and is appointed as sub-investment manager for the Valletta Fund Management range of investment funds.
