Scottish Life win a prestigious investment award

We are proud to have won the highly respected ‘Ultimate Default Fund’ award, for our Governed Range, at the annual Corporate Adviser Awards earlier this year.

These awards recognise excellence in a number of corporate pension categories for financial advisers and pension providers.

The Governed Range was nominated for the ‘Ultimate Default Fund’ category by Jason Walker of adviser firm AWD Chase de Vere, who said that, in his view, the Governed Range provided “the choice, flexibility and governance that (is required) to meet client and adviser needs”.

Nick Leitch, Head of Investment Marketing at Scottish Life, said:

“We launched the Governed Range in January 2009 as the latest enhancement of our core pension proposition, which we’ve developed over the years. It has proved hugely popular with advisers and their clients, with a 75% increase during 2009 in the number of IFA firms using the Governed Range.”

How the Governed Range can help you

  • It provides a comprehensive choice of risk-graded default investment options which allows you to provide sensible investment options for those employees that don’t want to make investment decisions.

  • Each investment option comes with either rebalancing1 or lifestyling2 so it remains appropriate for its risk profile.

  • We have a robust governance process and take responsibility for reviewing and monitoring all the investment options.

  • Our online service makes it simple for your employees to see the lifestyle strategies or portfolios they’ve selected.

    2. Our Lifestyle Strategies are designed to gradually switch from higher to lower risk portfolios as employees approach retirement age.
