Roll of Honour 2020
The IPE Awards features over 40 categories that produce a unique set of annual peer-led benchmarks each year based on pension funds from across Europe of all shapes and sizes measuring their performance and assessing their strategy against those of their peers nationally, regionally and by theme and structure.
The roster of judges features some 90 specialist investment consultants, academics and ex-pension fund executives who are assigned to panels based on their area of expertise and experience.
