Helping you navigate the complexities

Administering DB pensions is more complex than ever before. Post Freedom and Choice, schemes are having to handle increasing numbers of transfer value quotation requests, while also having to grapple with challenges like GMP equalisation. There’s also an increasing focus on data quality, with the rise of risk transfer transactions and data transparency initiatives such as the pensions dashboard.

Against this backdrop, members’ expectations are also changing. DB members are faced with complex decisions they never expected to make, nor in many cases are they equipped to make. Coupled with this, the way in which people engage with information is changing, with seamless and intuitive online services becoming the norm. Increasingly, members will expect the same from managing their retirement options.

We help our clients manage these challenges seamlessly and cost-effectively, all while their members are receiving the best possible experience.

A better future for pensions administration

We recently brought together a panel of experts to discuss the future of digitalisation in pensions administration. The discussion focused on three areas: how members' needs are changing, what 'better' looks like, and how we can get there. Key themes to emerge from the session centred around data quality, member uptake and provider capability.

Pensions dashboards will bring about a landmark change in the way individuals can access information about their pensions. Find out what trustees and administrators need to know to ensure compliance.

PASA accreditation sets itself apart from other accreditations and kitemarks in the industry by being the only one that is member focused and the only one to measure the member experience. It means that what an organisation says is happening, is actually happening.

To undertake it an organisation must be determined, and confident, that they would meet the highest of standards. To achieve PASA accreditation you have to be genuinely outstanding, it is with great pleasure we are able to acknowledge Hymans Robertson in that bracket.
