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
We appointed Muse because of their depth and breadth of knowledge of the pension administration market and their independence. Having an adviser who has such level of experience is critical. Muse helped ensure that the Trustees were confident in the decision they took when selecting their third party administrator. Many implementation projects over-promise and under-deliver. Muse provided expert guidance, alongside our own internal project management function and the third party administrator, to ensure a successful implementation that delivered the planned level of automation from day 1. I would confidently recommend Muse Advisory to other Trustee Boards.
Trustee Director, RBS Pension Trustee Limited
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.
Former Group Head of HR, Drax Group plc
