Roundtable: The Evolving DC Landscape

We brought together Heads of Pensions, Trustees, and specialists from legal, communications and beyond to discuss the evolving DC landscape focusing on three key topics: consolidation, default retirement and targeted support.

DC Adviser Review: A second opinion counts

We were approached by a trustee board of a large blue-chip company whose DC investment consultant had been in role for several years. The trustee board had gone through several changes in service contacts at the consultant and had gradually lost confidence in the advice being put forward on the investment aspects of the DC section. It’s worth noting however that the trustee board felt that the scheme’s default fund was in good shape after it had gone through a series of evolutions.

It’s Good to Talk. Isn’t It?

A certain advertising strapline once said, ‘It’s Good to Talk’. And it is. But when it comes to pensions administration, it’s more of a case that we need to talk and especially when it comes to scams. We need to talk about how we talk to members and the language we use not only to improve the member experience generally, but also very specifically to limit the risks of members being scammed.

Testimonials

We appointed Muse to step in when our long-standing Pensions Manager announced his retirement. Their team managed to get up to speed quickly, complete an effective handover and ensure our day-to-day business continues to run, whilst at the same time helping us select, appoint and transition to a new administrator. Muse has become a key part of our team, coordinating activities across advisers. The Muse team has spotted opportunities to bring governance and market insight into the day to day management of our schemes. We feel we are in good hands and, importantly, enjoy working together.
Independent Chair of Trustees, John Laing
It was a pleasure to work with Muse on our Administrator selection process. As we were outsourcing for the first time, which is particularly challenging, their insight into the market and the administrators we saw, guiding us through the minefield of selection, gave us confidence that we were making the most informed decision. Muse’s process was pragmatic and effective, always considerate of the circumstances of the in-house team. We continued to rely on Muse’s support particularly throughout the contracting stage where their knowledge & experience proved invaluable as well as the transition stage; they challenged the administrator and asked the questions we didn’t know to ask. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
Trustee Director, Molins UK Pension Fund Trustee Limited
We appointed Muse because of their depth and breadth of knowledge of the pension administration market and their independence. Having an adviser who has such level of experience is critical. Muse helped ensure that the Trustees were confident in the decision they took when selecting their third party administrator. Many implementation projects over-promise and under-deliver. Muse provided expert guidance, alongside our own internal project management function and the third party administrator, to ensure a successful implementation that delivered the planned level of automation from day 1. I would confidently recommend Muse Advisory to other Trustee Boards.
