Getting the most out of the Own Risk Assessment (ORA)

With ORAs now underway, Rosanne shares tips on what’s required in the ORA and how to go about completing it. For those who haven’t yet started, it’s helpful to understand what the ORA covers and what Trustees are asked to assess and evidence from a governance and risk management perspective.

How do you decide between in-house versus outsourced pensions management?

In the last edition of Muse News, Ellen looked at the role of the pensions manager, which has become significantly more demanding. With the increasing weight of project work, such as dashboards, GMP work and end-game journey planning, alongside business-as-usual activities, managing resource and key person risk is critical. Ellen takes a deeper dive into factors that should be considered when looking at in-house versus outsourced pensions management – cost, managing risks, sustainability and flexibility.

Navigating an evolving landscape

We recently held a roundtable with a small group of pensions leaders with a mix of trustee and corporate roles, with the discussion focusing on run-on, surplus and buy-out. This article provides a summary of challenges and opportunities in a pensions landscape that continues to evolve. Although the Pension Schemes Bill provides a little more clarity for companies and schemes on some of the challenges discussed at the roundtable, many of the observations remain pertinent.

Testimonials

Muse supported us with our transition between administrators. Muse challenged both the incoming and incumbent administrator and made sure we asked the right questions and had robust governance around the transition. They provided significant input into our contract negotiations, ensuring that we benefited from their experience of the market. The acceptance criteria that they developed collaboratively with all stakeholders helped ensure we could hold the administrator to account for delivery. Muse are a great team to work with, and they helped us establish a solid foundation for a strong relationship with our administration partner.
Head of Staff Pensions Management, Prudential Staff Pension Scheme
Muse’s support was invaluable in making sure we were still able to drive forward our projects, Trustee agenda and actions during the absence of a key team member on maternity leave. It was a pleasure to work with the Muse team and we valued their wider market knowledge, willingness to challenge and independent viewpoint. Because we had worked with Muse before we ‘hit the ground running’ and Muse quickly became part of the team.
Pension Strategy Manager, CYBG plc
Muse were able to understand the different styles and requirements of our two Trustee Boards and guide them both through a process, which resulted in a robust decision having carefully considered the right sort of provider and the requirements of the service. Their insights into the market and broad understanding of the part covenant advice plays in integrated risk management was invaluable in evaluating the market, and their facilitated process helped maximise effective use of pensions staff and trustee time.
