Our benefits consultancy team offers public sector clients a number of additional services that go beyond traditional actuarial and investment advice. The team includes former LGPS, police, fire and NHS pension managers, who are acutely aware of the issues you are likely to be facing and can help accordingly.
There are many ways we can add value to the relationship you have with us. You may be looking for professional assistance with developing your pension policies, such as governance or early retirement; or reviewing your current processes; or perhaps you have officers or members who require training in pension related topics. It could be that you want guidance on how to communicate scheme changes effectively to your stakeholders, or simply want us to take responsibility for your more complex scheme member calculations. In all these instances we can help.
We can also undertake a review of your current AVC providers, working with our investment practice to analyse investment performance, fund choice, take up rates and quality of communications.
We can provide a tailor-made solution for online access for your members and employers to relevant pension scheme information through our tool pensionsWEB.
Our benefits consultancy team exists to make your life easier and we will help you in any way we can, either in-house or externally, to ensure your scheme runs efficiently for the benefit of its members.
