David Kneeshaw wins Personality of the Year at the Investment International Awards

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 Ardan, 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.’

Ardan itself won Excellence in Client Service for both the Middle East and Rest of World.

Other IFGL brands, IFGL Pensions and Friends Provident International Limited (FPIL), enjoyed success too with IFGL Pensions winning Best Pension Provider and FPIL’s IPME+ taking Best Protection Plan.

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