The judging panel also awarded two outstanding achievement awards this year to honour two individuals for their long careers, during which they have "quietly got on with protecting investors' savings in different ways".

For his contribution to the industry, the judges decided to single out former M&G Investments' chief executive Michael McLintock, who retired from the role last month.

Meanwhile, the judges also honoured Leigh Harrison for his contribution to fund management. Harrison retired at the end of last month after a 32-year career, the last ten years of which were spent at Columbia Threadneedle.

On the night, FMYA raised a total of £11,516 for charity Mind.
