The investment environment has never been more difficult for pension scheme investors. Proactive investment advice is needed to meet the demands of complex pensions legislation and volatile capital markets.

Effective solvency management means getting the best possible investment ideas, employing the investment techniques and investment managers who will provide consistent positive long-term returns so that pensions are accrued for and paid comfortably. For most schemes this will require a significant level of monitoring and time commitment, in other words a governance structure and resources that many trustees may not have.

We see solutions. With the trustees maintaining control of the long-term decisions—investment strategy and objectives—our Delegated Consulting Service provides a full time, day to day tailored solution for your plan, including risk management strategies, asset allocation decisions and hire and fire of fund managers. We can be nimble to find new opportunities for your portfolio or lock-in existing profits. We have your interests at the forefront of our decisions and align our interests so that we are judged on your success.

As well as offering complete solvency management solutions, Delegated Consulting Services also provides a flexible framework that caters for those clients that prefer to only delegate some elements of the investment strategy.

Delegated Consulting Services is supported by Hewitt's Global Investment Practice, employing specialists and experts in risk management, derivatives, manager research and selection and asset allocation.
