In addition to the design and creation of your own investment proposition, we can provide you with a suite of digital forecasting tools that offers in-depth insights and analysis.

These tools provide asset allocation risk/return assessment, asset allocation generation, goal-based probability and outcome driven interventions.

Our digital first tooling capability allows you to enrich your proposition quickly, leaving us to look after the day-to-day.

Data

As the pensions drawdown market continues to grow significantly, our clients benefit from understanding certain demographic data to help calculate sustainable retirement income levels.

We provide data licensing through our Club Vita longevity analytics tool and offer robust modelling through our Economic Scenario Service (ESS).

Our team of dedicated actuaries and data scientists simplify the complex and help you maintain a competitive, forward thinking business.
