Pegasus - Your Pensions Executive in Ireland
Pegasus provides independent outsourced pensions executive services, including pensions management, scheme secretarial and specialist support, to pension scheme trustees and corporates. We are wholly owned by The Law Debenture Corporation plc.
Our story
We observed that as defined benefit pension schemes became a legacy issue, in-house pension teams became widely under-resourced. Increased regulation and complexity put further pressure on these limited resources. In our experience, this has meant greater reliance on more expensive advisers and/or members of the trustee boards to deliver across a spectrum of activities from routine governance and secretarial tasks through to strategic projects. We felt that we could provide more cost effective solutions to this challenge.
