It’s Good to Talk. Isn’t It?

A certain advertising strapline once said, ‘It’s Good to Talk’. And it is. But when it comes to pensions administration, it’s more of a case that we need to talk and especially when it comes to scams. We need to talk about how we talk to members and the language we use not only to improve the member experience generally, but also very specifically to limit the risks of members being scammed.

From compliance to capability: The next phase of Pension Scheme Governance

The recent TPR Talks discussion on raising standards of trusteeship and governance reignited an important debate across the pensions industry: what does 'good governance' actually look like in practice? Governance spans a wide spectrum of matters from endgame strategy, risk management, cyber security, business continuity, third-party supplier oversight, data quality to AI governance. Trustees are expected to manage pension-specific risks and all the operational risks that could materially impact members and scheme operations. Operational risk management in a highly outsourced model deserves its own article!

DC Adviser Review: A second opinion counts

We were approached by a trustee board of a large blue-chip company whose DC investment consultant had been in role for several years. The trustee board had gone through several changes in service contacts at the consultant and had gradually lost confidence in the advice being put forward on the investment aspects of the DC section. It’s worth noting however that the trustee board felt that the scheme’s default fund was in good shape after it had gone through a series of evolutions.

Testimonials

When we selected Muse as our Risk Key Function Holder, we were looking for something special that would add value to the Scheme by constructively challenging our perspective. We were not disappointed.
Chair of Trustees, large Irish DC Scheme
Muse run very bespoke, organised and professional selection exercises. We enjoy working with Stacy and the team as their independence encourages sharing of information and a strong working relationship.
Head of DC Sales, Legal & General
When we needed external facilitation for a strategy orientated governance review, Julia and her colleagues at Muse Advisory understood just what was required. As a result of their considerable sector knowledge and experience they were able to hit the ground running and work with the Trustees to achieve their objectives in an efficient and effective manner.
Chair of Trustees, Nationwide Pension Fund
