11 Oct 2024

International Financial Group Limited (IFGL) CEO David Kneeshaw won Personality of the Year at yesterday’s prestigious Investment International Awards.

It makes him the first person ever to have won this award three times.

IFGL, owner of Friends Provident International Limited (FPIL), also won Best International Life Group (non-UK), as well as Company of the Year.

David said:  ‘It was an honour to represent IFGL at the Awards, which are a mainstay of the industry calendar. Investment International is an important hub which binds the cross-border sector together.

‘I’m delighted of course to have won Personality of the Year and particularly to be the first person to have done so three times but I’m also proud that IFGL and its brands were so well recognised across many of the categories. 

‘IFGL has made huge strides in the past year in what is a challenging world and we plan to keep doing so into 2025 and beyond.’

FPIL itself won Best Protection Plan for its IPME+ product.

And other IFGL brands, IFGL Pensions and Ardan International, enjoyed success too: IFGL Pensions won Best Pension Provider and Ardan took Excellence in Client Service for both the Middle East and Rest of World.

In addition, the Isle of Man, where IFGL and FPIL are headquartered, won Best International Financial Centre.
