Actuarial

The most significant undertaking in respect of actuarial services is the triennial valuation. Our approach is to focus on the following key areas:

“The Trustees have full confidence in Hughes Price Walker and are very pleased with the quality of advice and service that they provide. Their staff are helpful, thorough and professional. I have no hesitation in recommending them.”
— Robert Upton, Chairman of Trustees, Capper & Co Ltd Pension and Assurance Scheme

  • A group of actuaries that are personable and plain talking

  • An accurate, timely and compliant service

  • Provision of regular funding updates, where required

  • Working in partnership with trustees and employers

  • Use of a highly practical funding modeller.

We work in partnership with trustees and employers, helping them to make decisions and achieve good outcomes.

The key features of our actuarial services are:

  • Efficiency – making sure you have the right information at the right time to make decisions.

  • Pragmatic – making sure key information drives decisions and you are not clouded by unnecessarily complex and less material matters.

  • Tailored – bringing ideas that are relevant to you.

  • Collaboration – helping the trustees and the employer work together to improve the outcome for their schemes and their members.

  • Value for money – we are proposing very competitive fees.

To allow trustees the ability to monitor the performance of schemes that they manage, we offer the use of an online funding modeller called SchemeNavigator. When logged into SchemeNavigator, users are able to view current and historical information on the assets, liabilities and surpluses of all relevant schemes, on differing assumption bases. This allows trustees the ability to keep track of technical provisions, accounting and buy-out funding levels in between actuarial valuations.

SchemeNavigator can also be used to view various projections of future performance, monitor the asset classes of investments, perform sensitivity analysis, and keep track of member movements.

In getting to know potential clients we often provide a scheme specific demonstration of this modeller. Therefore if you would like to arrange a free demonstration please get in touch.
