How we help

We help public sector pension funds manage risks while also meeting their long-term funding and investment objectives. We understand the challenges you face and are here to work with you in delivering better outcomes for your fund and your employers.

Working with you to achieve your specific ambitions and deliver better outcomes on investment strategy, pooling, responsible investment, government requirements and investment governance.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors pose major risks to pensions funding and the LGPS is particularly exposed due to its long-time horizons and large allocations to riskier assets. We work with clients to help them understand responsible investment issues at all stages of the investment process and benefit the fund.

With increasing regulatory scrutiny of funds and complexity of scheme rules, governance of the LGPS has bever been more important. Our integrated specialist team of governance, administration and project management (GAP) consultants are dedicated to providing specialist support to LGPS funds.

Our advice is underpinned by innovative technology and digital expertise. Adapting to an ever more digital world, we have over 200 digital experts ranging from data scientists, modellers, technical architects, developers to UX designers, all dedicated to creating transformative digital solutions.

Our approach makes sure we’re harnessing the latest technologies and agile delivery to meet your needs. Powered by the latest cloud technology, our tools and solutions are best in class, and continually updated to keep up with the latest digital developments.
