Roundtable: The Evolving DC Landscape

We brought together Heads of Pensions, Trustees, and specialists from legal, communications and beyond to discuss the evolving DC landscape focusing on three key topics: consolidation, default retirement and targeted support.

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.

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.

Testimonials

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 bring a helpful and experienced objectivity to projects which helps guide the Trustee Board through some important decision making with pace.
Former Head of Marks & Spencer Pension Trust, Marks & Spencer Pension Trust 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
