FT Adviser has been named Personal Finance Trade Title of the Year at the Personal Finance Society Awards today (October 17).
Adding to a string of awards in years past, as voted for by financial adviser and mortgage and insurance broker members of the PFS, the prestigious win now means FT Adviser is the proud owner of seven trophies for the award, five of them in consecutive years.
