Spence & Partners

Events this year have raised the issue of whether the industry and trustees should give earlier warnings to the regulator and PPF about issues with DB schemes. Kristian Brunt-Seymour looks at the options.

Spence & Partners has won a mandate to provide actuarial, investment and administrative services to the Simons Group's Pensions & Life Assurance Scheme.

Trustees relying on equities and gilt yields to improve are taking a big gamble and could result in a rush of schemes going bust, says Hugh Nolan.

PP explores the option of putting the British Steel scheme through the bulk annuity market.

The Society of Pension Professionals (SPP) has elected Hugh Nolan as president effective from 1 June, succeeding Duncan Buchanan who is stepping down.

Hymans Robertson and Spence & Partners were among those to receive the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries' (IFoA) quality assurance scheme (QAS) accreditation.

With the steel industry's fortunes hanging in the balance, PP considers the prospects for its pension fund.

Hugh Nolan has been appointed as a director at Spence & Partners, joining from JLT Employee Benefits where he was chief actuary.
