The market-leading institutional investment platform
About Mobius Life
Mobius Life was established in 1997 and has serviced the UK pension market ever since. The Mobius Life brand was born in 2014, when the company was acquired by its management team and investors in a management buy-out, and the business concentrated on the provision of institutional investment platform services.
Both the name and logo of Mobius Life have been inspired by the Mobius strip – a simple yet extraordinary continuous one-sided form, typically compared to the infinity symbol. This represents our straightforward way of thinking and the wide range of investment solutions available to our clients.

Governance
- The oversight of the quality and integrity of accounting and reporting practices, controls and financial statements
- Reviewing performance of the internal audit function and the independent auditors
- Taking a forward-looking perspective on risk matters
- The oversight, quality and performance of the Risk Management and Compliance functions
The ARC membership consists of three independent non-executive directors of Mobius Life Limited.
We commission BDO LLP to conduct an independent audit to test our compliance with the AAF 01/20 internal control framework principles. Our annual company audit is performed by E&Y. Both audits conduct detailed sample testing across all aspects of the investment platform, with particular emphasis on the investment administration function.
In line with good industry practice, we operate a three lines of defence model with appropriate monitoring of processes and controls provided by the risk and compliance functions and assurance on the effectiveness of those controls provided by internal audit.
Diversity of the governing body
Mobius Life’s governing body has a Board Diversity policy in place to ensure composition of the Board displays diversity in its broadest sense, to enable it to benefit from a range of perspectives, insights and challenges to support good decision making. Recruitment to the Board is made on merit whilst seeking to ensure diversity of thought and experience.
Corporate social responsibility
“Transition onto the Mobius platform was straightforward. Managing our managers and strategy changes are faster, cheaper and well documented for audit. The recent introduction of their ESG monitoring has further helped in meeting the increasing compliance burden on trustees.”
Pete Godding, BESTrustees
