Barnett Waddingham will help your university identify and solve its key pension and investment challenges. Underpinned by 20 years of HE experience, across a top-tier client list spanning the UK, we’ll efficiently work with you across a wide range of issues, from managing the risks within your pension arrangements to improving the return and ESG credentials of your endowment assets.
Our pensions expertise extends across everything from self-administered trusts and DC schemes to sector-wide arrangements such as USS, LGPS and TPS. We can help your trustees and the university across both defined benefit and defined contribution pension matters, ranging from:
Universities will also benefit from our approach of reviewing their investment strategy holistically, working to understand your aims, beliefs and constraints, so that any changes increase the likelihood of achieving those objectives.
When you outsource some or all the management of an investment strategy, there can be challenges around reviewing performance and ensuring value for money. As an independent consultant with no products to sell, universities can be sure that we will provide an unbiased view that will improve your understanding and confidence in the outsourcing arrangements. Our approach will allow you to demonstrate accountability and challenge your managers, and ultimately achieve better value for money from these relationships.
Over the last few years, expectations for universities around responsible investing have continued to develop, and Barnett Waddingham have been at the forefront of helping their clients keep ahead of the curve. Our Sustainable Investment Team will help you to incorporate ESG and impact into your strategy, as well as demonstrating progress towards climate and impact goals and, ultimately, managing reputational risk.
