CMI has won two major industry awards at the 2010 International Fund and Product awards.

The company was named Best International Life Group (UK) and also rated High Commended in the Best International Life Product (UK) category for its Global Investor product.

CMI managing director Dean Waddingham said, “I am incredibly proud that CMI’s 20 years’ of experience has been recognised by the industry in this new category, Best International Life Group (UK) where the judges look at the quality of life groups that sell into the UK market.

“For us, this award has come at a pivotal time, with CMI undergoing a re-branding process as it becomes part of the Scottish Widows group, selling its products into the UK through the Scottish Widows sales forces.”

“For more than two decades CMI in the Isle of Man has had a culture geared to service excellence, underpinned by our accessible expertise and technical capability. This was endorsed by the judges’ comments that described our business as ‘ambitious and focused’.

“The judges were also impressed with CMI’s continued dedication to meeting core market needs, while at the same time always looking to enhance its offering, concluding: “Overall, CMI offers advisers a well designed and highly tailored proposition.”

He added, “CMI colleagues are to be congratulated for their contribution to our winning these two awards and I am confident our combined expertise will see the group win further industry plaudits and our customers continue to recognise the quality of our service and products.”
