Trustee Resourcing
13 Dec 2021
Case studiesWe often work with trustee boards who, for various reasons, have found it necessary to assume a more operational role: more like an executive management team than the non-executive role intended for trustees.
What is the right DC scheme for you?
13 Dec 2021
Case studiesThe sponsor had put in place a contract based scheme early in the 2000s, and had changed provider in 2007. As the scheme had grown and become the main scheme for employees, and the governance committee had taken a more active role in the scheme, it was becoming clear that the solution was not matching the needs of the sponsor nor the scheme members.
Moving to a Master Trust
13 Dec 2021
Case studiesThe company had recently undertaken a strategic review of its DC arrangements and concluded that there were efficiencies to be made in the DC running costs. A Master Trust might provide the most cost efficient means of providing the DC benefits, but as their DC adviser also runs a Master Trust, the company recognised that the adviser would be conflicted.
Approaching Risk Management
13 Dec 2021
Case studiesRisk management had become “stale” and needed refreshing or so thought the Trustees’ risk committee at least. Consequently, Muse were commissioned to conduct an independent review of the Trustee Board’s risk management framework with a view to improving effectiveness.
Transforming Administration
13 Dec 2021
Case studiesOur client was experiencing issues with their administration service. They were on a legacy system that wasn’t well integrated, and were being serviced from an office that was experiencing some resource challenges. The provider was distracted and the combination of these factors led the service quality to fall. The service had become so poor, and the response so inadequate that the client was considering other options in the market.
Selecting an Actuary
13 Dec 2021
Case studiesOur client had two schemes, each with a different actuary. This wasn’t a problem, but it was time for a review and they wanted to consider the benefits and downsides of sharing an actuary across the two schemes.
