Grant Thornton has selected Mobius Life as independent investment platform for its pensions investment service. Mobius life will provide a complete investment administration service to Grant Thornton and their clients. By using Mobius Life, Grant Thornton will be able to help large and smaller schemes to implement and manage a successful investment strategy.
Grant Thornton’s clients will benefit from access to a wide range of funds and seamless investment administration service. The Mobius Life platform will enable Grant Thornton to reduce or eliminate transition management fees for many of its clients allowing clients to implement a new strategy early.
Peter Loughridge, Partner, Grant Thornton, said:
“We provide advice to trustees and sponsoring employers, tailoring our services to their circumstances. We specialise in simplifying complex issues around developing a successful investment strategy while managing and reducing risk. The Mobius Life Platform allows us to streamline investment administration, improve investment selection and therefore strengthen scheme governance.”
Adrian Swales, Chief Executive Officer, Mobius Life, said:
“Specialist investment solutions designed to keep pension schemes on track to meet their obligations have often only been available to the largest schemes. By using our platform Grant Thornton will also be able to deliver these services to smaller schemes. All schemes will now have access to solutions only previously available to the larger end of the market.
I am very pleased to welcome Grant Thornton to our platform. We are a completely independent business. This means clients will be able to access exactly the funds they need without the built in bias associated with fund manager-owned platforms.”
Grant Thornton has won numerous awards for its pensions advisory services. The firm was a triple award winner at the Management Consultancies Association awards 2015. It won the Top 50 Pensions Team of the year at the British Accountancy Awards 2014 and was the Advisor Turnaround & Transform winner at the Institute for Turnaround awards 2014.
