Testimonials

Muse were able to understand the different styles and requirements of our two Trustee Boards and guide them both through a process, which resulted in a robust decision having carefully considered the right sort of provider and the requirements of the service. Their insights into the market and broad understanding of the part covenant advice plays in integrated risk management was invaluable in evaluating the market, and their facilitated process helped maximise effective use of pensions staff and trustee time.
Pensions Operations Manager, ScottishPower and Manweb Pension Schemes
Muse facilitated the setting of our strategic goals, both financial and operational, working with all our advisers and providers so that the objectives were fully integrated, not only in respect of IRM but also with regard to data, administration, member communication and governance. Their independence meant that the advisers were open and transparent in their thinking. The momentum they helped us achieve means that we are on course to provide good outcomes for our members. It also gives us a helpful framework to refresh regularly, to check that we remain on track.
Independent Trustee, Xerox Final Salary Pension Scheme
In the time we worked together Muse showed a genuine understanding of, and commitment to, our Plan's objectives that I have rarely, if ever, seen matched by other consultancies. A pleasure to work with.
