Pension investment consulting
Providing tailored pension investment advice to each unique scheme, trustee board and organisation, with strategy and risk at the core
As the third largest pension investment consultant in the UK, we offer truly independent advice to institutional investors such as trustees, employers, universities, charities and local authorities.
Our team of over 140 pension investment consulting professionals oversees more than 450 clients with over £140 billion in assets collectively. We enjoy what we do and we aim to bring this enthusiasm to our discussions with you.
We are a proud signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and are committed to helping our clients understand and implement sustainable investments.
We owe our growth and free thinking approach to having no outside shareholders that we need to satisfy and we do not run an investment management or fiduciary management business. This allows us to avoid conflicts of interest and leaves us free to provide bespoke advice for your pension investment choices suitable to your specific scheme and requirements.
We believe it is fundamental for stakeholders to understand their current position, their objectives and what needs to be achieved in order to meet these goals. We work collaboratively to reach a pension investment approach that benefits and protects your scheme members' savings.
