The Future of Trustee Governance

The government’s decision to launch a consultation into the professional trustee market is very welcome. It’s long overdue. Professional trustees play a vital role in ensuring good governance and protecting member outcomes. The decisions they make and the challenge they should bring directly affect the benefits delivered to millions of savers. So, it's right that we pause and ask whether the structures and incentives in the market still deliver what members need. Read Ian McQuade’s viewpoint recently featured in Professional Pensions.

Testimonials

Muse was a highly valued resource to both the Trustee and our executive team. They helped us focus on our strategic priorities, whilst also helping the team deliver and move the scheme towards its goals. Along with this, they were a safe pair of hands delivering the regular business-as-usual work in the quarterly cycles. We enjoyed working together and appreciated their pragmatism and wider market views. Muse's team has added value at various levels of the organisation and helped us through a period of significant change.
CEO, National Grid - Trustee Executive Limited
Muse took over as a fully outsourced pensions department on the retirement of our long-standing Pensions Director. We were concerned about losing Scheme knowledge, acquired over many years, but we have been delighted with Muse’s work. Their team approach mitigated our key man risk and, throughout their time with us, they have been reliable and professional, always keeping the regular business-as-usual cycle moving as well as helping us navigate more sensitive issues. The chemistry is good and they work as though they are our in-house pensions department. We appreciate their thoroughness and professionalism and feel well-supported in all areas of work.
Chairman of the Trustee Board, Xerox Pension Scheme
Muse Advisory carried out a review of our governance. The team were good to work with and worked constructively with our trustees, the pensions team, company representatives and our advisers. We invited them back to facilitate our trustee strategy which was also well received. We value their expertise, independence and range of relevant skills.
