Last night at the freshly rebranded Investment Management Education Alliance's (IMEA's) 22nd annual STAR Awards celebration, Aberdeen Standard won eight awards, more than any other firm and up from five last year. Its wins included IMEA's 2018 Community Investment Award, in part thanks to the charitable efforts of 400 Aberdeen Standard employees on the company's global volunteer day earlier this year.
