Refreshingly different thinking

Our consultants aren’t just pension experts. They’re a team of ambitious, creative problem-solvers. We ask more searching questions, give more focus to your long-term goals, and offer bolder solutions tailored to your needs.

 

By challenging entrenched industry ideas, we’ve built a legacy of pioneering new and better thinking for our clients. Recent examples include Opportune, an industry-first insurance platform that allows schemes to achieve buy-ins and buy-outs with greater certainty and at better prices. And Fusion, our risk management tool that allows us to better assess risk, reduce costs and analyse scheme sensitivity in real-time for clients.

 

Our experience stretches across sectors, solutions and disciplines. So, whether you’re public, private or non-profit, looking for financing strategies or need GMP equalisation advice, our actuarial consulting team can help.
