LifeSight wins Pension Scheme Innovation Award 2025 at the Irish Pension Awards
21 November 2025
LifeSight by WTW is proud to announce that it has been named the winner of the Pension Scheme Innovation Award, recognising its leadership in delivering forward‑thinking investment solutions and member‑focused tools.
“This was an outstanding submission highlighting innovation in investment solutions, as well as a focus on communication and education for employees in relation to their retirement planning needs.”
— Irish Pension Awards 2025 Judging Panel
This award highlights LifeSight’s commitment to transforming the DC landscape through pioneering investment design. Over the past year, LifeSight introduced two major innovations:
- Global Equity Diversified Index (GEDI) – a multi‑factor, risk‑managed equity index developed with MSCI to capture market inefficiencies using value, quality and momentum factors.
- Private Equity Access Fund (PEAF) – the first solution of its kind to offer DC members in Ireland access to private equity, supported by a robust liquidity management framework and materially lower costs than traditional private‑equity structures.
LifeSight estimates that including private equity in member portfolios could increase retirement outcomes by up to 3% over the long term.
Alongside its investment advances, LifeSight has strengthened its member experience through LifeSight Financial Fitness, a holistic financial‑wellbeing programme, and the LifeSight ageOmeter, an interactive tool that helps members understand how today’s decisions influence their future retirement age.
These practical, accessible innovations reinforce LifeSight’s mission to help members build better financial futures.
