What is Fiduciary Management?

Fiduciary Management is an approach to Defined Benefit pension fund management and charity fund management which involves appointing one company to provide both investment advice and implementation. This is different to the traditional model of pension fund management where a pension fund has to engage and manage multiple advisers and asset managers.

Fiduciary Managers provide day-to-day investment management and advisory services as well as the ability to integrate pension finance with company finance. In practice this means that pension fund trustees can delegate the day-to-day management of the pension fund to the Fiduciary Manager, who is accountable to the trustees for the performance of the fund.

The investment implementation provided by Fiduciary Managers is usually delivered through a Manager of Managers investment process which can provide time savings because all manager selection and replacement decisions are undertaken by the Fiduciary Manager.

Fiduciary Management is well established in the US (Pension Outsourcing) and the Netherlands, and is growing in popularility accross the UK market.
