Do private market investments in DC create new governance challenges for Trustees and providers? Paul Armitage, DC lead, looks at the advantages and some of the challenges in private markets, where undertaking quality due diligence has never been more important. Whilst the asset class isn’t new, successful deployment in DC still has many unanswered questions. Do private market investments create new governance challenges for Trustees and providers? What should Trustees do when looking at private markets?

Testimonials

In the time we worked together Muse showed a genuine understanding of, and commitment to, our Plan's objectives that I have rarely, if ever, seen matched by other consultancies. A pleasure to work with.
Former Pensions Manager, Scottish & Newcastle Pension Plan
Muse carried out an effectiveness review for both of our scheme trustee boards and ran a joint board workshop on the findings and helped our trustees agree actions. An external review and the workshop were ‘firsts’ for us, we wanted to get it right. We chose Muse because of their experience and independence. Their team were very skilled in helping our trustees take stock and reflect, challenging us to think about future effectiveness and bringing wider knowledge of trustee practice and corporate governance. Muse really delivered well on the work.
Pension and Benefits Partner, LV= Pension Trustee Limited
We selected Muse to help us review our DC consultant, largely because of their in-depth market knowledge and well-run selection process. Stacy used her own DC experience to help us define our requirements, and worked well with our Trustees and in-house team.
Pension Scheme Secretary, Aviva Staff Pension Scheme
