Do private market investments in DC create new governance challenges for Trustees and providers? Paul Armitage, DC lead, looks at the advantages and some of the challenges in private markets, where undertaking quality due diligence has never been more important. Whilst the asset class isn’t new, successful deployment in DC still has many unanswered questions. Do private market investments create new governance challenges for Trustees and providers? What should Trustees do when looking at private markets?

Testimonials

We selected Muse to help us review our DC consultant, largely because of their in-depth market knowledge and well-run selection process. Stacy used her own DC experience to help us define our requirements, and worked well with our Trustees and in-house team.
Pension Scheme Secretary, Aviva Staff Pension Scheme
With the support of Muse's professional team our recent FM selection project delivered as expected and so much more. Muse was able to translate our scheme's unique characteristics and ambitions in to specific and practical service requirements. This meant that we were able to select the best fit provider; a firm who then already understood us and was well matched to our scheme's requirements.
Chair of Trustees, Northrop Grumman UK Pension Scheme
Muse helped us switch our administration provider. Their work included confirming the decision to change providers, identifying our requirements, facilitating the entire RfP process and then advising on commercial/ operational contractual matters. This was a significant project for us. It was completed successfully on time and on budget. Muse’s advice, professionalism and efficiency was excellent throughout, and their guidance and expertise was both reassuring and very much appreciated.
