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.

The power of independence

Why should the principle of independence stand at the forefront of your decision-making process? Ellen Ratcliffe explores the role that independence plays in improved outcomes and how value is delivered through the work we do across outsourced pensions management.

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 helped us work with our administrator to deliver our transformation programme. They challenged them and asked questions we hadn’t considered. We wouldn’t have achieved the change we needed without the support and experience of the Muse team.
Pension Strategy Manager, CYBG plc
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
