Shayala McRae

I am a qualified actuary bringing more than 30 years' pensions experience to my work within LCP’s Pensions Research team to support my colleagues - and through them our clients – with my technical expertise and familiarity with the legislative framework within which pensions operate and by having my finger on the pulse of developments in the industry.

I analyse and advise on the thornier questions generated by pensions legislation and industry developments – with particular expertise in the areas of scheme funding, early leaver protections (including anti-franking!) and pensions tax – and communicate these, often complex, issues in a manner that is clear and easy to digest.

My industry roles include chairing the Legislation Committee of the Society of Pensions Professionals and sitting on its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Group. I am also proud to have sat on the Committee of LCP’s Women’s Network since its inception – find out more about diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI) at LCP here.
