Roundtable: Effective Pensions Administration

What is the ‘utopia’ for pensions administration? That was the theme for our latest Pensions Leaders dinner, which brought together a mix of professional trustees, Heads of Pensions and representatives from administration providers to share knowledge, ideas and wisdom on what effective administration should look like in 2030 and beyond. It was a lively discussion and we’ve provided a summary of the key points and takeaways.

AI governance

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is driving considerable change across many industries, including pensions, and whilst there are significant potential benefits available, the risks are real as well. Jo Fellowes explores where AI is currently being used and developed in the pensions industry and considers the changes in Trustee governance required to oversee data, security and cyber risk as AI use continues to evolve.

Testimonials

Muse Advisory carried out a review of our governance. The team were good to work with and worked constructively with our trustees, the pensions team, company representatives and our advisers. We invited them back to facilitate our trustee strategy which was also well received. We value their expertise, independence and range of relevant skills.
Trustee Chair, Rolls-Royce UK Pension Fund
We appointed Muse Advisory for our first external review of board effectiveness. It was undertaken independently by Muse in line with good practice under the UK corporate governance code whilst recognising we are a young organisation building the business for our LGPS shareholders. It was a thorough process but not at all disruptive, with strong involvement of Board, Executive and wider stakeholders. There was a lot of relevant feedback with useful ideas in the Muse report, with a clear presentation of the findings enabling us to discuss and agree the actions to take forward. Overall, it has been a comprehensive and insightful piece of work by Muse.
Chair, Border to Cost Pensions Partnership
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.
