Pensions 'personalities' set for big night (Guru)

Pensions 'personalities' set for big night

July 6, 2009

Now for some really big news... wait for it... the shortlist for the European Pensions magazine Personality of the Year 2009 has now been revealed.

I know, Guru can't believe it either, it only seems like last week that last year's winner was crowned. Anyway, surely "pensions personality" is an oxymoron?

The 2008 winner was, I'm sure disciples will remember, Dr Anton van Nunen of Van Nunen & Partners, pioneer of the fiduciary management concept in the Netherlands.

The lucky man (because it will be a man as they are all dull, middle-aged, white men) will be presented with their award at a gala evening at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London later this week. Just the 25 categories to be awarded on the night...

In the interests of transparency, Guru would like everyone to know he voted for Tony Hobman, chief executive of The Pensions Regulator.

Guru can hardly contain himself, rumour has it Alastair Darling is the after dinner entertainment. Guru can certainly say he hasn't been this excited since the government announced the introduction of auto-enrolment for employees for 2012.
