The Pensions Management Institute (PMI) has appointed Mortality Manifest (MM) as an Insight Partner to help schemes improve their pension data capabilities.

The partnership, set to launch later this month, will involve MM hosting webinars, interviews, and panel discussions for PMI members on critical issues of de-risking, data management and losing member contact.

The PMI’s partnership also aims to support innovation on pertinent issues affecting the industry, adding value through the delivery of specialist knowledge.

The new service provided by MM will be available to pension scheme members across the UK. 

MM is an industry leader in the de-risking market - an area that “doesn’t receive enough attention,” according to PMI CEO Gareth Tancred.

“We believe that de-risking, tracing and data management are pertinent issues within the pensions industry that may not receive enough attention," he continued.

“This partnership with MM will help pension schemes to better engage with these mission-critical factors through their industry-leading expertise. We look forward to working alongside the company to champion professional development in the pensions industry.” 

MM managing director, Sam Drye, added: “We are delighted to be partnering with the Pensions Management Institute.  MM is excited to support PMI members through its range of core products and expertise which will enable schemes to improve the quality of member data.

"Our partnership comes at a good time, particularly with the requirement for consistent and high-quality data within all schemes as the pension dashboard go-live fast approaches.”

MM, which was an original adopter of the UK government’s DDRI license, has provided mortality screenings to pension funds since 2006, as well as services to help pension funds resolve issues arising from losing contact with members.
