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.

Testimonials

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
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.
Independent Trustee Chair, QinetiQ Pension Scheme
It was a pleasure to work with Muse on our Administrator selection process. As we were outsourcing for the first time, which is particularly challenging, their insight into the market and the administrators we saw, guiding us through the minefield of selection, gave us confidence that we were making the most informed decision. Muse’s process was pragmatic and effective, always considerate of the circumstances of the in-house team. We continued to rely on Muse’s support particularly throughout the contracting stage where their knowledge & experience proved invaluable as well as the transition stage; they challenged the administrator and asked the questions we didn’t know to ask. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
