Your benefits

We have shown what fiduciary management is, how it improves the governance of pension schemes and how it enables trustees to achieve their strategic goals.  The central idea is that a fiduciary manager can help to formulate a better investment strategy and implement and manage the investment strategy by means of a complete, integrated, and more cost effective solution. In addition, we have described that MN distinguishes itself by providing a bespoke, modular  yet integrated service proposition. We have developed that capability over many years and have a proven track record. We are a safe pair of hands, are truly independent, are aligned with the interests of pension schemes, and can deliver benefits that many pension schemes would not be able to realise by themselves.  As a result, working with MN as your fiduciary manager gives you the following benefits:

Regaining strategic focus and control

You can focus your limited time on setting the strategy by delegating the implementation of your strategy to a team of professionals.  We will provide you with timely, transparent, integrated reporting that provides you with transparent insight into the sources of risk and performance: asset-liability mismatch risk, asset allocation, and manager selection.  We thereby enable you to monitor us, facilitate a meaningful dialogue in terms of your strategic objectives, and hold us accountable for the results.

A better investment strategy

We provide knowledge, expertise, and know-how to implement and manage a more ambitious strategy that can be expected to achieve a higher return per unit of risk.  We achieve this by eliminating unrewarded risks and improving diversification across asset classes and managers.  We will provide you with pro-active and unambigious advice to help you set a strategy that you feel comfortable with: you remain in control.

More nimble decision-making

We dynamically manage your balance sheet by adjusting the risk level, the asset allocation, and the manager selection in response to changes in your funding level and market conditions.  You determine the degree to which you delegate these decisions to us.  If we feel it is in your interest to go beyond these limits, we will provide you with clear-cut advice.  Either way, we enable you to take advantage of opportunities and protect against emerging risks in between board or investment committee meetings, which should result in a higher expected funding level with less downside risk.

Better risk management

We will continuously monitor and control the risks in your portfolio on an integrated basis across your managers, asset classes, asset portfolio, and balance sheet in order to ensure that your strategic goal is met.

Lower total costs

We generally can deliver the above benefits at a lower total cost than your current total cost as a result of our scale and purchasing know-how.
