Standard Life Wrap wins Best Wrap Platform award

Standard Life was recognised with two awards at the annual ‘Pensions Management – Technology, Administration and Service Awards’ ceremony in London on Wednesday 26 September.

The Standard Life Wrap proposition was awarded ‘Best Wrap Platform’ and the company was praised for providing a range of platform solutions for advisers including FundZone, Standard Life’s mutual funds platform.

The second award was a new category for 2007 called ‘Peoples’ Choice’. Over 1,000 advisers were asked to nominate the company that, in their opinion, delivered the best technology, administration and service in the industry. Standard Life was the winner of this new award.

Commenting on the awards, Geoff Towers, Chief Executive of Standard Life Savings Limited said “At Standard Life, we know that today’s clients demand a holistic approach to their asset management. Our team has worked hard to create a solution that will enable advisers to offer their clients quality, control and choice through the market leading service and flexible investment options they expect.” Geoff continued, “Our platform presents a fundamentally different approach to a pre-packaged wrap solution by enabling the adviser to position the service as their own – we simply provide the technology and support to make this a reality.”

He concluded by saying “In both award categories it was our people and processes that stood out from the competition and advisers felt we were the company that took the “pain out of their business" through the service and help we provide to advisers. Everyone at Standard Life should feel proud of what we have achieved with these awards.”
