Purpose-built to run your scheme better

We know running DB pension schemes can be expensive and hard work. So we’ve teamed up with the independent trustee company Entrust, to make running your scheme much more simple.

The Enplan Pension Platform brings under one roof individual pension schemes of different shapes and sizes that we run on a purpose-built platform. This grants you easy access to everything you need to run a scheme. Plus, in creating Enplan, we also developed an innovative way of accessing investment markets – speeding up decision-making and saving your scheme money on fund manager fees.

Entrust provides the governance and secretarial support and Isio provides all the key pensions services – administration, actuarial and investment.

What sets Enplan apart

Enplan is transformative for schemes, unlocking a range of benefits.

Reduced costs. Your scheme will operate more efficiently, saving you time and money. 

Robust governance. Enplan provides professional, continuous governance and a sustainable and efficient solution for your scheme’s future.

Funding and investment. We’ll create a tailored plan to help you manage (or exit) your scheme in a risk controlled, affordable way.

Quality of service. Your scheme and your members will receive an excellent service.

Creating a better future for more schemes

Enplan was created over 7 years ago and exists to create better outcomes for our clients, their members and society. We believe that all schemes deserve great service, at a fair price, regardless of their size.

By managing more than 60 schemes collectively, we allow schemes on the platform to access economies of scale, innovative services and investment buying power that they would not be able to achieve on a standalone basis. Scheme costs can often be reduced by up to 30%.

Insight

The most important decision you are yet to make regarding your DB pension scheme?

DB pensions can be time-consuming, complex and costly to run. Pension schemes that do not have a clear long-term plan could be missing out on opportunities to fully remove risk or release cash for the benefit of sponsors and members. Access to the insurance market has improved for schemes of all sizes, but there is more to do. Operational consolidation guarantees access for schemes of all sizes.

FAQs

Sponsoring employers are often looking to run their scheme more efficiently. They want to save time and costs, and free themselves to focus on the strategic aspects of running the business.

Joining can be done in a matter of weeks. It starts with the appointment of Entrust as the professional independent trustee, followed by actuarial and investment services coming on stream soon after. Administration is often in place within 6 months to allow the full transition of data.
