Pi Pension Trustees are pleased to announce that we have partnered with award winning platform provider Knowa to deliver governance excellence across our portfolio of clients. Knowa’s vision is to improve the way in which boards collaborate, communicate and access information.
By working closely with Knowa over a number of months, we have designed and implemented a platform to store key documents, record and monitor progress against all the governance requirements involved in running UK pension schemes and record all decisions made. By implementing the Knowa platform across our entire portfolio, we are able to deliver cost-effective, market leading governance standards for all our clients – large and small.
Knowa’s award winning AI enabled search facility which is embedded in the platform also gives us instant access to relevant scheme information.
We are excited about this development, which enables us to deliver a market leading service in a scalable, value for money service proposition.
Will Henderson of Knowa said “Pi Pension Trustees had an ambitious vision for how technology should deliver future proof, high quality and efficient governance across their schemes. In the past companies had to build in-house products to facilitate these custom solutions, but Knowa’s flexible platform has enabled us to work with the Pi team to deliver the functionality 10 times cheaper than the cost of a bespoke build and with the versatility to adapt to changing requirements over time”.

Pension scheme data cleansing goes beyond correcting member records. It involves reviewing scheme documents, understanding past decisions and addressing issues that can affect members’ benefits. From a professional trustee’s perspective, this article explores why projects become complex and how expertise, constructive challenge and timely decisions help trustees navigate them.
Good-quality pension scheme data is fundamental to effective governance, compliance and risk management. As systems become increasingly interconnected and AI adoption grows, trustees must understand how data is managed, shared and scrutinised to support better decisions and member outcomes.
