The shortlist has been announced for the European Pensions Awards 2026.

Celebrating their 19th successful year, the European Pensions Awards continue to champion excellence in the European pensions industry, recognising the investment firms, consultancies and pension providers across Europe that have set the professional standards best to serve European pension funds over the past year.

This year's awards will highlight those who have gone above and beyond amid an unprecedented time of dynamism and vigour, as pension schemes, alongside their advisers, asset managers, technology partners, administration and communication specialists, continue to push boundaries to meet the evolving needs of their members in an unpredictable world.

These achievements are all the more impressive given the backdrop of shifting regulations and volatile market conditions; this year's awards will celebrate those who have not only adapted but also risen above these challenges with creativity, resilience, and purpose.

Reflecting the ongoing evolution of the industry, we are also delighted to introduce two new categories for 2026: the Emerging Talent Award and Industry Contribution Award.

The winners will be announced by comedian Ivo Graham at a prestigious gala dinner on Thursday, 2 July 2025, at the London Marriott Hotel in Grosvenor Square.
