How IGGnite works

Created for businesses looking to manage their pension schemes efficiently, IGGnite delivers the benefits of scale without the complexities and restrictions of a master trust.

Schemes are brought together under a common trustee (“PCST”) and common set of independent advisers and service providers. Through this operational scale, schemes are managed efficiently and able to access high quality advice and investment solutions, plus first-class governance, at a competitive overall cost usually reserved for larger schemes.

IGGnite delivers the governance and operational discipline of a large scheme – without compromising the individuality or strategic direction of each scheme.

How is IGGnite independent?​

With IGGnite, sponsors retain full control over their pension scheme. They work with the Trustee to agree the investment strategy and journey plan, while IGG manages the day-to-day running and operation of the scheme for an agreed, transparent annual fixed fee.

A panel of leading, independent advisers and service providers deliver the full range of services to IGGnite schemes. Each firm has been carefully selected to deliver:

  • high-quality expertise
  • market-leading solutions
  • strong value for money

We work with sponsors and advisers to agree strategic objectives for each scheme – whether buy-out, self-sufficiency or another target – and we regularly review:

  • Progress against those objectives
  • Whether the objectives remain appropriate

Through our panel of fund managers, schemes also benefit from lower asset management fees and access to innovative investment solutions that are often out of reach for small schemes.
