The
Children's Mutual has won the Best Child Trust Fund Provider Award
from leading financial advice magazine Moneyfacts Investment Life
& Pensions for the fourth year in succession.
The
Children's Mutual fought off stiff competition from more than
70 Child
Trust Fund providers - including several national banks and
building societies - to win the celebrated award.
Based
on a combination of the analytical expertise of the Investment
Life & Pensions Moneyfacts research team and the opinions
of its IFA readership, the Awards recognise companies that have
consistently offered the most competitive products, the best levels
of service and shown the greatest innovation during the last 12
months.
On
winning for the fourth time marketing director of The Children's
Mutual, Tony Anderson, said: "This is a great achievement
for the organisation. To win the award every year since it was
introduced makes me immensely proud of the hard work and professionalism
of our employees here in Tunbridge Wells and our colleagues in
partner relationships in Cheltenham and Glasgow.
"We
try very hard to put customers at the heart of what we do and
as a result we are the choice of one in four families opening
a CTF
account for their children. I’m delighted that our hard
work and high standards continue to be recognised by professionals
in our industry too."
Editor
of Investment Life & Pensions Moneyfacts, Richard Eagling,
said: "The Awards have become a highly sought after accolade
of excellence within the financial services sector and recognise
the outstanding achievements of providers which offer the very
best products and service levels. The
Children’s Mutual must have a winning formula. Being
presented with this prestigious award on no less than four consecutive
occasions is a magnificent achievement."
Actor
and comedian, Chris Barrie, best known for his roles in Red Dwarf
and The Brittas Empire hosted The Investment Life & Pensions
Moneyfacts Awards at The Brewery, Chiswell Street, London on Friday
25 September 2009.
Child
Trust Funds are designed to provide a tax efficient, long
term savings vehicle for all eligible children. Each eligible
newborn child (born on or after 1 September 2002) receives a £250
Child
Trust Fund voucher (£500 for low income families) from
the Government when their parents register for Child Benefit.
The Government will make a second contribution of £250 (£500
for low income families) when the child reaches seven and is considering
a third in the child's teenage years. Parents, family and friends
can all then add to this account up to a maximum value of £1,200
each year.
