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.

Guided Retirement

Guided retirement is a key topic, which we explore across multiple angles in this latest insight piece from Paul Armitage, DC lead at Muse Advisory. We look at what selecting a guided retirement solution requires of trustees and how doing this sooner rather than later can boost member outcomes massively.

Testimonials

Knowing that commercial links may exist between some consultants and pension service providers, it was Muse’s clear independence that made the difference for us. Firstly, they helped us to consider the different types of DC scheme available, without having a particular product that they were looking to sell. On the second occasion, we were considering Fiduciary Management. Muse helped us understand the pros and cons of Fiduciary Management compared with our current service. Whilst we didn’t move to Fiduciary Management, we did make changes to the way that we work with our appointed investment consultant.
Former Group Head of HR, Drax Group plc
Muse continue to provide excellent independent support to us and their clients. Their operating model provides a refreshing change: quality, independently minded people who are good at what they do. Muse know where they want to operate and continually seek to take new ideas into those areas. Muse continue to punch above their weight.
Head of Trustee Services, Unilever
Muse was a highly valued resource to both the Trustee and our executive team. They helped us focus on our strategic priorities, whilst also helping the team deliver and move the scheme towards its goals. Along with this, they were a safe pair of hands delivering the regular business-as-usual work in the quarterly cycles. We enjoyed working together and appreciated their pragmatism and wider market views. Muse's team has added value at various levels of the organisation and helped us through a period of significant change.
