Our actuarial consultants can help you set up a new pension scheme, get more value from your existing one, or wind it up
Whether you have Defined Benefit or Defined Contribution arrangements in place, our expert consultants will make sure you have a well-run scheme that is an asset rather than a liability.
With First Independent Financial Trust Group, we’ve built up a business that people trust, by providing pension services for trustees and employers that put our clients’ needs and interests first.
Our aim has always been to take a fresh approach to pensions consultancy. We bring clarity to the actuarial process through good communications.
We can help you meet your scheme’s obligations by striking the right balance between investment risk and reward, and company contributions.

What sets us apart from our competitors?
We tailor our pensions advice to your needs and objectives
There’s no standard pension scheme. Each comes with its own strengths and challenges, and our goal is to put in place the most suitable plans and strategies for your needs. There’s no average scheme member either. We explain options in a variety of ways so every member can make decisions based on a sound understanding.
We focus on our clients, and their pension scheme members
We don’t waste our energies on meaningless awards or promotions. If you see First Independent Financial Trust Group in the news, it’s because of the hard work we put into supporting trustees, employers and members. Client satisfaction is what matters to us. Our time is best spent focusing on your pension scheme to deliver the services you really need.
We get great results by challenging conventional thinking
Whether we’re working out the right level of investment risk for your scheme or managing your liabilities, our experienced advisers aren’t afraid to make recommendations that go against the grain. We listen carefully to what our clients want to achieve, and find cost-effective ways to help. We often use industry standard methods, but where it’s in the best interests of our clients we’re not afraid to adopt a fresh approach.
