Following the highly successful return in 2024, we are proud to announce that the LGC Investment Awards is back to once again recognise excellence across the Local Government Pension Scheme community.

Taking place at lunchtime on 28 November, at the Park Hyatt London River Thames, the LGC Investment Awards will showcase innovation within the LGPS during this era of unprecedented focus and significant change in the pensions landscape.  Now more than ever, it is important to celebrate exemplary best practice that drives the LGPS forward in an ever-changing environment.

Open to all stakeholders within the LGPS, including pension funds, pools, and service providers, these awards serve as a platform for collaboration, inspiration, and acknowledgment of outstanding achievements. 

Each stage of judging is designed to provide a fair and transparent process.

Stage 1: Online Judging – once the entry phase closes, the judges will review online and score each submission to determine the shortlist.

Stage 2: Roundtable discussion – once the shortlist is announced, all finalists will be reviewed again by our judging panel to select the winner.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or a newcomer in the sector, the LGC Investment Awards welcome all contributions that push the boundaries of conventional thinking and propel the LGPS towards greater success.

Together, let us shine a spotlight on excellence, foster a culture of innovation, and recognise those tasked with the safekeeping of the pensions of the 6.7 million members within the LGPS.
