LCP has launched STratify, a new service designed to support pension schemes operating under a professional corporate sole trustee (PCST) model.

The service combines advisory support with a dashboard on LCP's Visualise+ platform, providing sole trustees with real-time funding, investment, administration and covenant information, alongside scheme risks and strategic milestones.

The dashboard uses continuous monitoring and colour-coded indicators to help sole trustees in their decision-making.

LCP said the launch reflected increasing demand for sole trusteeship in the defined benefit (DB) pensions market.

The consultancy’s latest Sole Mates report, published in 2025, revealed there were 101 new PCST appointments over the previous year.

Commenting on the launch, LCP partner and head of sole trusteeship, Holly McArthur, said: “Sole trustees work in a different way and our new service is designed to deliver what they need in the way that they want it.

“As sole trusteeship continues to grow, trustees are being asked to oversee increasingly complex schemes while making decisions efficiently and with confidence.

“STratify brings together the information, insight and advisory support that matters most, helping sole trustees maintain a clear view of their priorities and focus their time where it can have the greatest impact.”

McArthur said the combination of LCP’s advisory services and Visualise+ would help sole trustees "stay ahead of change", operate more efficiently and make better-informed decisions.
