Testimonials

We appointed Muse through a competitive tender to support our actuarial selection process as a result of the thoroughness of their approach, their deep knowledge of the market and value for money. Their support was invaluable in helping us to concentrate on what would make the difference for us from our Actuary so that we could make the selection from some very strong candidates. The team was flexible and approachable; they managed the project for us professionally to ensure that the candidate firms were well briefed and engaged with the project. Muse played an important part in enabling us to select a firm best suited to our requirements and ways of working.
Trustee Secretary, States of Jersey Pension Schemes
Muse Advisory supported the Trustees through the process of reviewing their full service pension provider. They provided the subject matter expertise, and worked seamlessly alongside our in-house procurement team, to help us identify a high-quality solution that met both our technical and commercial requirements, delivering great value for the scheme and members, as well as the sponsor.
Group Financial Controller, Riverside
Muse worked skillfully with the trustees, our advisers and our main Company contacts to help us review trustee board effectiveness and provide independent insights. Muse set their report in a strategic context for the scheme and it was evident Muse understood our unique challenges as well as comparisons to peer schemes. They framed proportionate views and made clear recommendations for actions that we are now taking forward. It has been a good piece of work, and worthwhile. It will help us work with the Company to make further progress on the scheme. The other trustees had not experienced an effectiveness review; they found it easy to work with Muse and engaged well with the trustee board’s discussion of the report findings.
