What's inside
- 01
Who these products are built for
Each product is mapped to the segments it credibly serves, across LGPS and public service schemes, large private DB schemes, DC master trusts and workplace providers, mid-size and small schemes, SIPP providers and third-party administrators.
- 02
What it broadly costs
Indicative market-planning bands for implementation to go-live and five-year total cost of ownership by segment and engagement type, from small-scheme managed services to master trust scale platforms.
- 03
How long it takes
Typical delivery timelines by engagement type, from nine to forty-eight months for a full platform replacement down to one to twelve months for a module or add-on.
- 04
Where the choice actually is
A density view of how many comparable products serve each segment and delivery model, including segments where the realistic shortlist is far shorter than buyers assume.
- 05
Trends shaping platform selection
Fifty-two pensions trends across fifteen categories, each with named sources, including the final dashboards connection deadline and consolidation under the Pension Schemes Act 2026.
The extract shows the shape of the market. The full pre-RFP dataset adds supplier-described features and charging structures, named clients, strengths and considerations per product, named sources for every entry, and all 52 pensions trends with evidence. Banking and wealth management are covered on the same basis.
Nothing here is a ranking or a recommendation. Figures are market-planning bands, not quotes, vendor numbers or forecasts for any individual product. Suppliers have not reviewed or approved these entries.
