Following the nominations phase, Headlinemoney ran a month-long vote at the end of 2016 amongst the financial journalist community. This was followed by a shortlisting process, where a panel of experienced judges drawn from financial services media ultimately determined the overall winner. Congratulations go to Aviva for scooping this inaugural trophy with its Family Finances Report from last summer entitled Generation Regret. “This was a brilliant report, it was really useful,” one journalist commented. “It was a campaign with great potential and tackled the issue of the moment,” added another. “As far as I could see, it was the first report to articulate a fundamental link between housing wealth, pension saving and retirement,” a third correspondent pointed out.
