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 helped us to agree a future investment governance model appropriate for our organisation. They have deep knowledge of the advisory and fiduciary management market and we were impressed with how well they listened to all views, helped us consider all the options and, importantly, obtain buy in from all key stakeholders.
Chair of Trustees, Reed Elsevier Pension Trustee Limited
We have very much valued working with Muse in a review of our pension administration arrangements. The Muse team was incredibly helpful in helping us prepare for the review, in guiding us through the various assessment stages, and in helping us to get to the right decision for our Schemes. The documentation produced during the process, from the RfP itself, through to the reporting in support of the decision making process, has been first class. I would like to offer my sincere thanks and gratitude for all of the hard work, commitment and support. The Muse team were an absolute delight to work in partnership with, on what could potentially have been a difficult programme.
Group Head of Pensions & Benefits, DMGT
We appointed Muse Advisory for our first external review of board effectiveness. It was undertaken independently by Muse in line with good practice under the UK corporate governance code whilst recognising we are a young organisation building the business for our LGPS shareholders. It was a thorough process but not at all disruptive, with strong involvement of Board, Executive and wider stakeholders. There was a lot of relevant feedback with useful ideas in the Muse report, with a clear presentation of the findings enabling us to discuss and agree the actions to take forward. Overall, it has been a comprehensive and insightful piece of work by Muse.
