LONDON, March 30 -- Willis Towers Watson, an advisory, broking and solutions company, issued the following news release:

Willis Towers Watson's Insurance Investment Solutions Group (IISG) has been awarded 'Best insurance investment adviser' at the inaugural Insurance Investment Exchange Awards.

The awards, which were presided on by an independent panel of judges, consisting of leading insurance sector specialists, recognise the achievements and leading expertise undertaken on behalf of the insurance industry by internal investment teams, specialist service providers and asset managers.

In particular, the judges highlighted IISG's breadth of services and reach across diverse geographies, along with Willis Towers Watson's management of conflicts and the business' 'client-first' principle, particularly the importance it places on client confidentiality, as being key factors that set the business apart from its peers.

This is particularly important at a time when the challenging macroeconomic and low-interest rate environment is driving significant global demand from insurance companies for solutions which can offer them enhanced risk-adjusted returns without compromising on standards of governance."
