Innovating to support DC schemes

The defined contribution (DC) pension market is maturing all the time, and at Mobius Life we continue to innovate to ensure our services stay ahead of the emerging needs of our clients.

As it’s January, I thought I’d take the opportunity to remind you about some of the DC subjects I wrote about last year – and how our platform capabilities can help DC schemes to achieve their members’ retirement income goals.

Manufacturing retirement-ready funds: In March I wrote about our capability to manufacture funds to meet specific pre-retirement objectives. These include drawdown-ready default funds and to-and-through retirement income generating funds. We’ve also manufactured funds designed to give annuity-like returns and funds designed for different age cohorts. You can read my full article on LinkedIn, here.

Evolving a pension administration eco-system. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if all the suppliers involved in delivering DC pensions could work together? These include consultants, investment managers, investment and member administration, governance, banking and data reporting providers as well as a host of other support services. Well, in May I wrote about how Mobius is helping to nurture a pension eco-system which brings together all the key providers involved in delivering workplace pension solutions.

Pooled fund proxy voting – the Mobius platform approach. We know the government is keen to encourage pension schemes to vote their shares to support the policies set out in their Statements of Investment principles. In August I wrote about how Mobius is powering DC schemes invested in some of the pooled funds on our platform to vote. You can read my full article on the Mobius Life website, here.

More than just admin – the Mobius way. In September I wrote about how our clients benefit from capabilities which meet more than just their routine administration needs. These include access to investment in real assets or LDI solutions, specialist transaction cost and climate reporting and much more. You can learn more about these capabilities in my article here.

Delivering data for pension dashboards. We believe pension dashboards will be a game-changer, driving peoples’ engagement with their pensions and ultimately leading to a higher, more sustainable incomes in retirement. But they won’t get far without quality data. In November, I wrote about how Mobius already holds schemes’ pricing data and can feed this into dashboard providers’ systems, using data standards and formats they require. You can read the full article here.

This is just a snapshot of the range of services and capabilities we provide to DC schemes and over the next year, I’ll be regularly writing articles to highlight our wider capabilities. If you’d like to know more now, rather than wait, please email or call me today I’d be happy to tell you more.
