Five fund groups recognised at Gold Standard Awards

J.P. Morgan, BlackRock and Neptune are among the five groups recognised as leaders in the fund management field at this year’s Gold Standard Awards.

They are joined by Santander and F&C as the groups who achieved the Gold Standard for Fund Management.

Now in its eighth year, the Gold Standard Awards take into account financial strength, and assess areas such as trust, fair value, and service, as well as capability to conduct business.

They are designed to identify companies that not only have strong structures and procedures in place, but go above and beyond standard business practices to offer customers the best possible experience when using financial services or buying financial products.
