We have been trusted to deliver innovative pensions solutions and peace of mind to clients since 1969. This heritage combined with our FTSE-listed ownership sets us apart as a stable, client-focused organisation. Our infrastructure and culture support us in delivering best practice, bespoke yet efficient, solutions.
With independent pension trusteeship it is the people that make a difference and we attract the best: breadth, depth and a passion for pensions. There really is nothing in the pensions world of which we don’t have experience.
In this video our pensions leadership shares how our trustee and governance experts, based in London, Manchester and Dublin, work as a team to provide peace of mind for our clients.
As independent professional pension trustees we support clients in a flexible way that meets their needs. This includes acting as chair of trustees, corporate sole trustee, co-trustee, subcommittee chair or member, master trust trustee, IGC member or for ad-hoc support.
Pegasus, our pensions governance business, releases the pensions pressure on in-house teams and supports trustee boards as they work to deliver optimum outcomes for members. We support clients as needed, be it as scheme secretary, through strategic project management such as Guaranteed Minimum Pensions Equalisation (GMPE) and the General Code, with adviser selection and administration oversight all the way to fully outsourced pensions management.
Clients rely on us to work across schemes of all types including defined benefit (DB), defined contribution (DC), hybrid, master trust and Independent Governance Committees (IGCs). Regardless of our role or the scheme type, size or complexity, we bring the LawDeb Team. That is the combined experience of trustees, governance experts and our wider business in order to add value for both sponsors and members.
Corporate sole trusteeship (CST) is an increasingly popular solution for pensions schemes looking to streamline their governance. A corporate sole trustee sits in the place of a traditional trustee board, taking responsibility for pension scheme governance and becoming a trusted point of contact for all aspects of the scheme.
With LawDeb as CST you will have access to an experienced team who bring expertise, wealth of knowledge, diversity of thought and insight of working with our 60+ CST clients. We offer real-time action, robust decision making and responsive communication.
Our team is passionate about Defined Contribution governance and trusteeship.
We are appointed as Independent Trustee for some of the largest private sector DC trust-based schemes such as DHL, GSK, and Royal Mail and to many smaller DC schemes and sections (e.g. Penguin).
We are experienced in supporting trustees and sponsors with Master Trust transfer decisions and provider selections. We also sit on a number of high-profile Master Trust appointments. These include the Financial Conduct Authority and L&G’s Worksave Master Trust, one of the largest Master Trusts in the UK as well as the Irish Life Master Trust.
Our internal DC Working Group ensures the insights from each of these appointments is shared across our team, to add value for our clients.
In-house pension teams are increasingly stretched as pension regulation and complexity increase. Pegasus provides peace of mind that arrangements follow best practice, continue to be compliant, and have the right resources at busy times.
We provide independent pensions executive services, including outsourced pensions management, scheme secretarial and specialist support to projects, pension scheme trustees and corporates.
Our services are flexible. Whether meeting an interim or permanent requirement, or on an ad-hoc basis the Pegasus team will seamlessly integrate with your team to deliver best-practice governance support and relieve your pensions pressure.
