Pension and employee benefit services that balance cost, risk and reward
First Actuarial helps trustees and employers provide the best possible pensions and employee benefits. As part of our services, we support scheme members and employees in making informed decisions about their money.
We’re known for our fresh approach to pensions and employee benefits. We put the client first at all times. And we challenge conventional thinking whenever necessary to get the best possible outcomes for trustees, employers and their people.
Over two decades, we’ve expanded the services we offer. But our values have held firm. Across all our services, we listen closely to our clients so we can put their needs and interests first. And we price those services fairly.
We bring clarity by making pensions and employee benefits as simple as possible and only as complex as they need to be.

What sets First Actuarial apart from our competitors?
We tailor our services to clients’ needs and objectives
There’s no standard pension scheme or benefits package. Each comes with its own strengths and challenges. That’s why it’s so important to get to know clients and listen closely to their needs and objectives. We develop warm and supportive relationships so we can offer them the most suitable services.
Employees and scheme members really matter to us
Employee benefits and pensions are all about improving people’s lives. We’re great at simplifying financial options for people. And we give administrators all the time they need to support pension scheme members. We also provide staff training in areas like dementia and how to handle people in distress.
We get great results by challenging conventional thinking
Our expert consultants aren’t afraid to make recommendations that go against the grain. If a standard industry approach won’t deliver the best outcomes, we’ll seek fresh and pragmatic alternatives. That’s how we helped to devise CDC (Collective Defined Contribution), a new type of pension in the UK.

Everyone at First Actuarial always ensures that work is considered in a timely manner. I am particularly impressed by the fact that the Scheme Actuary takes the time to have a quick chat to ensure that the Trustees and First Actuarial are up to speed on all relevant issues.
I find the First Actuarial team very approachable and understanding – they engage us ‘where we are at’ rather than talking over our heads. All queries are answered with incredible grace and respect.
We have worked with First Actuarial now for a number of years. We use both their actuarial and administration services and recommend them for their quality of work and advice which always meets our requirements.
Cannot compliment First Actuarial highly enough. Game-changing advice in a world of huge uncertainty!
