Private markets within DC schemes: Is the market ready?

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 have helped us via an independent trustee effectiveness review, a discussion workshop for the board on the findings and subsequently some planning and facilitation work for Trustee strategy sessions. The Muse team are highly capable with a strong client focus in the way they work, with us and our other advisers. Our trustee board is skilled and expects high quality and good value for money from advisers. Muse has consistently delivered this.
Chair, 3i Group Pension Plan
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.
