With over 300 highly satisfied clients,  won over the last four years, First Actuarial brings a fresh approach to actuarial consultancy.  We believe in giving straightforward advice and demystifying the actuarial process.  By explaining our advice fully to our clients we enable them to question and challenge professional advice thereby allowing them to make robust, well informed decisions.

We are 100% owned by our directors, all of whom are qualified actuaries with many years' pension consulting experience.  Each director holds a Scheme Actuary certificate and is engaged in client facing activities.  Our independence and hands-on approach enables us to adopt a pro-active ethos where we put clients’ needs first. 

First Actuarial offers a comprehensive range of services designed to meet the needs of both scheme trustees and employers.   However, it is the emphasis we place on solving your problems as soon as possible that really sets us apart.  Our can-do attitude and willingness to make recommendations combined with our innovative in-house software enables us to tailor our services to meet your exact needs.  One size certainly does not fit all. 

There are a myriad of rules and regulations that employers and pension scheme trustees now have to deal with, despite attempts by successive Governments to simplify pensions.  Legislative changes, combined with the long histories of many occupational pension schemes, have resulted in many schemes having poor quality data and inefficient administration processes.

These factors, combined with the volatile investment markets experienced over recent years, have resulted in dramatic increases in both the financial and management burdens faced by those running a pension scheme.

In response to these pressures, a large number of schemes will be, or are already, closed to new members or future accrual.

Against this background, it is arguably more important than ever for employers and trustees to receive high quality and cost effective advice that will ensure that they find the most appropriate solutions for their own particular circumstances.
