LV= wins Best Income Protection Provider award

LV= has won the Best Income Protection Provider award at the 2007 Investment, Life & Pensions Moneyfacts awards.

The annual awards, which began in 2005, are based on a combination of the analytical expertise of the Investment, Life and Pensions research team and the opinions of their financial adviser readership. LV= was ranked top provider in the income protection category, beating off competition from Bright Grey, Bupa and Friends Provident.

Stuart Tragheim, Director of Intermediary Business at LV= said: “It is a great accolade to have retained our position as the Best Income Protection Provider once again. This award is further evidence of our approach to providing innovative and appropriately-priced protection solutions to our customers, both advisers and consumers.”

Richard Eagling, Editor of Investment, Life & Pensions Moneyfacts commented: “The Investment Life & Pensions awards recognise the outstanding achievements of providers who manage to stand out from the crowd by offering consistently good value for money and delivering impressive service. LV= can truly be seen as the leader in the income protection market, especially as it has successfully retained the award for the second year, and therefore deserves extra praise.”

Overall LV= was shortlisted in five categories for this year’s awards, spanning the protection and savings & investments areas.
