Obsession for Excellence

Understanding the landscape within which a pension scheme operates is the key to finding the right practical steps. Our obsession with the industry has created specialists in every area including experts in multi-employer, charity and LGPS pension schemes where the risks and reactions are unique.

Our agile structure allows us to respond to a rapidly changing market and regulatory landscape resulting in key innovations in service delivery and operations.

This led to our clients, and members, being the first to benefit from the power of our integrated actuarial and administration platform. A game changer in data security, access to scheme and member information, and automation and accuracy of benefit calculations.

Our specialist services

A Trusted Partner

The ability to clean, organise and utilise data most effectively forged trusted partnerships with the Pension’s Regulator and the Pension Protection Fund, where we are one of four firms on the Specialist Administration and Actuarial Services Panel, who assist pension schemes during the Assessment Period for entry to the PPF.

This system gives investment specialists, scheme actuaries, risk transfer experts and pension consultants the right figures at their fingertips, all the time. Laying the foundations for bespoke, strategic and relevant advice.
