We can also evaluate and select your pension advisers; undertake an operational assessment of your in-house or outsourced administration service; deliver a bespoke Trustee Board effectiveness review or support the introduction of an Effective System of Governance (ESoG) as detailed in the General Code.

The UK pension buyout market is influenced by various economic, financial, and regulatory factors, and, as we have seen over the last 18 months, there can be considerable changes in market conditions. It is estimated that over 35% of the current UK Defined Benefit market are within 3 years of moving to buyout with a potential strain on resources and insurer capacity.

Over the last year Sole Trustee schemes have made up c. 25% of the current risk transfer market demonstrating the added value a specialist Trustee can bring to this process. We combine our experience across trusteeship, governance, project management and procurement to help companies and trustees make informed decisions with our knowledge of the very latest market developments.
