How can we help?
To date, we’ve supported a number of leading asset managers to better understand the DC market and we can support in the following key areas:
We provide insight on the current and expected future state of the DC market, utilising the strength of our provider and investment research teams to identify trends and anticipated direction of travel. Our insight covers both pension providers and investment platforms.
We can work with you to develop your distribution strategy to identify commercial opportunities, aligned with your objectives and strategic direction and be well positioned to engage in meaningful conversations with potential buyers.
We can work with you to design a new solution, providing advice on aspects including fund structuring, charging structure and strategic asset allocation, thanks to our strong understanding of DC client needs and platform requirements.
We can assess your fund capabilities and what would be most relevant for DC, enabling you to concentrate your marketing and distribution efforts.
We’re uniquely placed to help you articulate your offering through our digital capabilities. Using our Hymans’ Expected Retirement Outcomes (HERO) modeller, we can identify where your solutions could fit within DC investment strategies and articulate the potential improvement in outcomes.

Food for thought – managing social factors for trustees
As an industry, we’ve done well on focusing on the “E” in ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) policies over recent years. It’s been a priority for us, partly because of changes to the regulatory background which have required all schemes to up their game in this area and partly because climate change is seen as a real issue which will impact the value of investments in our pension schemes.
