Roundtable: The Evolving DC Landscape

We brought together Heads of Pensions, Trustees, and specialists from legal, communications and beyond to discuss the evolving DC landscape focusing on three key topics: consolidation, default retirement and targeted support.

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.

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.

Testimonials

Muse has provided us with a comprehensive framework to help assess the effectiveness of our existing system of governance and to challenge our existing approach to risk management. With Muse’s guidance, we are expecting to see a number of improvements to our risk management framework which will put us in a strong position for when TPR’s Single Code comes into force. Muse has helped us to identify and resolve gaps in our governance structure underpinning our risk management framework. In particular, by aligning our risk management framework with our strategy, the Trustee Board is supported in achieving its objectives.
Head of Trustee Governance, DHL Pensions
Muse provided interim scheme secretarial services to the RNIB Retirement Benefits Scheme for a period of six months, taking over with very little handover and no prior scheme knowledge. Rosanne and Tom hit the ground running and did an incredible job to get up to speed as quickly as they did. Their secretarial services have been excellent, however it’s the executive services they have provided that have gone beyond our expectations. They have provided an all-round governance and strategic planning service which has made an immeasurable difference and for which we are very grateful. Muse has provided a comprehensive handover to the new Scheme Secretary, which will allow him to continue their work and complete the overhaul of the Scheme’s governance.
Where we are six months on from Muse taking up the role isn’t a step change difference, it’s a quantum leap. Rosanne and Tom have made my life easier as Trustee Chair and gained the trust and confidence of the trustees, enabling us to be more non-executive. We now have an agreed strategic direction. Importantly, we have a plan to reach it and a well-constructed business plan, risk register and operational work plan to help us keep on top of the big issues and risks and make best use of our advisers. They’ve made a big difference not just to the trustees but to members who will benefit from the governance changes.
Trustee Chair, RNIB Retirement Benefits Scheme
Muse Advisory supported the Trustees through the process of reviewing their full service pension provider. They provided the subject matter expertise, and worked seamlessly alongside our in-house procurement team, to help us identify a high-quality solution that met both our technical and commercial requirements, delivering great value for the scheme and members, as well as the sponsor.
