Looking to set up a new pension scheme, get more value from your existing one, or wind it up?

What sets us apart from our competitors?

We tailor our pensions advice to your needs and objectives

There’s no standard pension scheme. Each comes with its own strengths and challenges, and our goal is to put in place the most suitable plans and strategies for your needs.

There’s no average scheme member either. We explain options in a variety of ways so every member can make decisions based on a sound understanding.

We focus on our clients, and their pension scheme members

We don’t waste our energies on meaningless awards or promotions. If you see First Actuarial in the news, it’s because of the hard work we put into supporting trustees, employers and members.

Client satisfaction is what matters to us. Our time is best spent focusing on your pension scheme to deliver the services you really need.

We get great results by challenging conventional thinking

Whether we’re working out the right level of investment risk for your scheme, or managing your liabilities, our experienced advisers aren’t afraid to make recommendations that go against the grain.

We listen carefully to what our clients want to achieve, and find cost-effective ways to help. We often use industry standard methods, but where it’s in the best interests of our clients we’re not afraid to adopt a fresh approach.
