We are extremely pleased to announce that EQ Investors (EQ) has won the ‘Marketing/Digital Initiative of the Year’ award for its Positive Impact report at the 2021 Portfolio Adviser Wealth Partnership Awards.

EQ was also highly commended in the ‘Fund Selection Team of the Year’ category. These accolades follow six awards in September alone.

The Wealth Partnership Awards were designed by Portfolio Adviser to recognise and reward excellence across key elements of the UK’s wealth and asset management businesses – including, crucially, where the two sectors work together in partnership to generate wealth for end-investors.

EQ’s 2021 Positive Impact report outlines the environmental and social benefits linked to investments in the EQ Positive Impact portfolios. Additionally, the report details the progress of EQ against its engagement impact agenda over the last year as well as providing more detail on its approach to sustainability and future goals.
