Insight

Isio’s 2026 Professional Independent Trustee Survey

Over the past six years, Isio has interviewed the UK’s largest professional independent trustee firms to gain a detailed understanding of market behaviour and emerging trends. Our latest insights show that demand for professional trusteeship remains high, with expectations of further growth as governance standards continue to rise. Amid sustained project workloads, the progression of DB schemes toward end game and increasing regulatory focus, particularly the Government’s consultation on trustee capability and TPR’s new supervisory framework for professional trustee firms, boards are relying more heavily on professional trustees for independent oversight, navigation on governance issues and complex decisions.

Always on hand to guide and support

We know that trustees face greater levels of scrutiny than ever before. To give them greater certainty and security, we’re fastidious about the quality of our service and the clarity of our communication.

While we frequently provide our actuarial and wider services in their own right, the best results come when all parts of your scheme move in unison. For this reason, our advisory and pensions administration teams work in tandem, avoiding siloes and improving efficiency. Every member of our UK-based teams cares deeply about the smooth running of our clients’ schemes.
