IGA helps businesses and employers stay on top of the rapid innovations and shifting currents that will shape the pensions industry tomorrow. With rising interest rates strengthening funding levels and updated legislation expanding Defined Benefit options for sponsoring employers, both trustees and the employers they represent must think carefully about the best strategy for their scheme.
As private capital continues to enter the sector, the Defined Benefit timeline has become shorter, but the Defined Contribution market is growing fast. At the same time, master trusts are becoming bigger, more complex, and increasingly integral to the financial future of the country.
The structure of the industry is changing, not only for schemes entering a superfund or insurer, but also through M&A activity, as trustee firms, advisors and Local Government Pension Scheme funds combine and consolidate. IGA’s pension specialists help cut through the noise, providing clarity, insight and peace of mind.
“
The pensions industry is at an inflection point. As responsibility for securing retirement shifts from company to the individual, education, innovation and engagement are key to success. The demographics are changing too – the earlier people can start saving the better and how can companies engage the younger generations. The pensions system is broad and complex. AI clearly has a role to play in simplifying but is in its infancy which creates some very exciting opportunities for experts in the space.”

"James is a trusted partner for XPS and really understands the needs of our business. He has an enviable candidate base and can unlock access to new candidates for us in a way which others can't. He's commercial, a great negotiator and a pleasure to do business with - I'd thoroughly recommend him and the team at IGA.”

"When I came to James, I came with a general idea what I wanted to explore, uncertain where I might fit in the market. From the initial phone call, he gave good advice led by a market intelligence that you just can't fake. He pursued opportunities for me with vigour, integrity and discretion, resulting in me eventually being able to choose between several very credible and appropriate offers. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others, or to firms looking to recruit
