Local authority pension fund: Governance Review

Following a TPR supervisory report that had identified scope for improvement, the Board of this large local authority pension fund commissioned Muse Advisory to assess the governance of the fund, identify areas of good or excellent practice and seek out areas where changes could be made to improve its effectiveness and efficiency.

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

Muse worked skillfully with the trustees, our advisers and our main Company contacts to help us review trustee board effectiveness and provide independent insights. Muse set their report in a strategic context for the scheme and it was evident Muse understood our unique challenges as well as comparisons to peer schemes. They framed proportionate views and made clear recommendations for actions that we are now taking forward. It has been a good piece of work, and worthwhile. It will help us work with the Company to make further progress on the scheme. The other trustees had not experienced an effectiveness review; they found it easy to work with Muse and engaged well with the trustee board’s discussion of the report findings.
Independent Trustee Chair, QinetiQ Pension Scheme
We appointed Muse through a competitive tender to support our actuarial selection process as a result of the thoroughness of their approach, their deep knowledge of the market and value for money. Their support was invaluable in helping us to concentrate on what would make the difference for us from our Actuary so that we could make the selection from some very strong candidates. The team was flexible and approachable; they managed the project for us professionally to ensure that the candidate firms were well briefed and engaged with the project. Muse played an important part in enabling us to select a firm best suited to our requirements and ways of working.
Trustee Secretary, States of Jersey Pension Schemes
When we selected Muse as our Risk Key Function Holder, we were looking for something special that would add value to the Scheme by constructively challenging our perspective. We were not disappointed.
