BOURNEMOUTH, England, June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Teachers Assurance is pleased to announce that it has once again been awarded a top ten position for the returns on its Teachers Provident With-Profits Fund*.

David Furniss, Chief Executive comments: "Teachers Provident's results reflects the many changes we have made over the last few years to improve our investment returns for our With-Profits members. We set out a rigorous agenda five years ago to improve investment performance, control costs and deliver returns back to our members in the form of policy benefits such as guaranteed returns on their savings and investment plans." He added "Reaching the top ten shows we are progressing ever closer to achieving our goal."

This is excellent news for the company and members alike as it means that the hard work put in over recent years has not gone unnoticed.

Coming so soon after the announcement that Teachers Assurance will be returning GBP4m in Special Bonuses to its members, this reaffirms its commitment to running an organisation that exists for the sole purpose of benefiting their members and customers.
