The LGC Investment Awards are back to once again recognise excellence across the Local Government Pension Scheme community.

Taking place at lunchtime on 27 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 – each entry will undergo a rigorous and fair judging process. Our judges will carefully review, score, and assess every submission to determine the 2026 shortlist .

Stage 2: Roundtable discussion – shortlisted entries will then be discussed in depth during a judging roundtable , where our expert panel will debate and select the final winners.

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 more than 7 million members within the LGPS.
