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

It was great working with Muse and if we undertake another review we will most definitely be in touch. We could not have got through this without Muse.
UK Group Pensions Manager, Total
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.
Former Group Head of HR, Drax Group plc
Muse continue to provide excellent independent support to us and their clients. Their operating model provides a refreshing change: quality, independently minded people who are good at what they do. Muse know where they want to operate and continually seek to take new ideas into those areas. Muse continue to punch above their weight.
Head of Trustee Services, Unilever
