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

With the support of Muse's professional team our recent FM selection project delivered as expected and so much more. Muse was able to translate our scheme's unique characteristics and ambitions in to specific and practical service requirements. This meant that we were able to select the best fit provider; a firm who then already understood us and was well matched to our scheme's requirements.
Chair of Trustees, Northrop Grumman UK Pension Scheme
Muse have helped us via an independent trustee effectiveness review, a discussion workshop for the board on the findings and subsequently some planning and facilitation work for Trustee strategy sessions. The Muse team are highly capable with a strong client focus in the way they work, with us and our other advisers. Our trustee board is skilled and expects high quality and good value for money from advisers. Muse has consistently delivered this.
Chair, 3i Group Pension Plan
Muse helped us switch our administration provider. Their work included confirming the decision to change providers, identifying our requirements, facilitating the entire RfP process and then advising on commercial/ operational contractual matters. This was a significant project for us. It was completed successfully on time and on budget. Muse’s advice, professionalism and efficiency was excellent throughout, and their guidance and expertise was both reassuring and very much appreciated.
