Testimonials

Muse helped us to agree a future investment governance model appropriate for our organisation. They have deep knowledge of the advisory and fiduciary management market and we were impressed with how well they listened to all views, helped us consider all the options and, importantly, obtain buy in from all key stakeholders.
Chair of Trustees, Reed Elsevier Pension Trustee Limited
Muse Advisory supported the Trustees through the process of reviewing their full service pension provider. They provided the subject matter expertise, and worked seamlessly alongside our in-house procurement team, to help us identify a high-quality solution that met both our technical and commercial requirements, delivering great value for the scheme and members, as well as the sponsor.
Group Financial Controller, Riverside
When we needed external facilitation for a strategy orientated governance review, Julia and her colleagues at Muse Advisory understood just what was required. As a result of their considerable sector knowledge and experience they were able to hit the ground running and work with the Trustees to achieve their objectives in an efficient and effective manner.
Chair of Trustees, Nationwide Pension Fund
