Our Public Sector team have secured a five-year contract to advise the Wiltshire Pension Fund.
Their Fund has over 180 participating employers, resulting in over 86,000 members and an asset value of over £3.2 billion.
Our Public Sector team, which supports and advises around 25% of LGPS funds across the UK, was chosen by Wiltshire Pension Fund following a competitive selection and tender process.
Melanie Durrant, Partner and Fund Actuary at Barnett Waddingham (BW) comments on how our team is looking forward to working in collaboration with Wiltshire Pension Fund:
"We are thrilled to be appointed to deliver actuarial, benefits and governance consultancy services to the Wiltshire Pension Fund. We look forward to a successful partnership, working closely with the Fund to ensure a smooth transition and to provide the best possible service for the Fund employers and members in the future."
Melanie continues: “The Wiltshire Pension Fund stands out as a premier fund, delivering exceptional service to its stakeholders through robust governance and strong partnerships. Our team is dedicated to collaborating closely with our clients to provide outstanding, cost-effective solutions. Our aligned cultures ensure that Wiltshire Pension Fund can rely on us to uphold this commitment.”
Jennifer Devine, Head of the Wiltshire Pension Fund explains more about why they decided to select us at their chosen advisers:
"We are pleased to announce that following a competitive tendering process, Barnett Waddingham came out as our actuary of choice. During the tender process, we assessed services to employers/Board/Committee/Fund, actuarial approaches, knowledge of the Fund, it’s demographic and cost – ultimately, we felt Barnett Waddingham met our criteria the closest and we are looking forward to building a dynamic working relationship with Melanie and her team"
In addition to LGPS funds, our Public Sector team also provides services to Police Authorities, Fire and Rescue Services, NHS Trust Funds and various employers who participate in public sector schemes, such as the Principal Civil Service Scheme.
