  • Maintaining up-to-date knowledge of market practice, legislation and DC governance requirements.
"I have worked in the pensions industry for over 15 years, leading investment advice for both defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes. My approach has always been to focus on breaking down complexity and ensuring excellent client delivery which my clients have valued."
Reena Tanna
"The Trustees have been continually impressed by Reena’s overall knowledge, insight and consultative skills. Reena is a breath of fresh air with interesting and innovative ideas. She encourages debate and provides challenge (in a positive way!) in order to help the Trustees look at things in a different way."
