Member Engagement
We map out a Pension Pathway for each member. Our proprietary Pathways report focuses on likely benefit outcomes for each member. We meet you at key events along your Pension Pathway.
Investment
Research shows that most members fit into two distinctive Investor types, Hands-On or Hands Free. Our collaborative approach to investments enables trustees to develop a range of investment strategies catering for the risk profiles of the Hands-On investor. Hands Free investors can also build a personalised lifestyle strategy based on their own risk profiles and likely benefit outcomes.
Governance
Unio's governance standards ensures a strong commitment to ethical values, good practice in relation to transparency, audit and employs a risk management framework by employing internal control systems through out the organisation.
