Services: Specialist sectors
Pension scheme trustees require advice and services that are tailored to their own needs and to those of the specific fund(s) over which they preside.
A number of large occupational schemes decided to appoint advisers that are independent from those employed by the employer company and this is now considered good corporate governance for scheme's of all sizes. This burden has been relieved by the fact that in recent years, a number of firms have invested in the specialist skill set required to enable them to ‘join’ what has traditionally been a very small market place, thus increasing choice and competition and driving up the levels personal service as never experienced in this sector before.
