Advisory for master trusts and providers

Using our in-depth independent research and experience of advising providers and master trusts on investment strategy, LCP is best placed to provide advice across your proposition, from investment design through to developing out new ideas and concepts.

We don’t offer a master trust or any fiduciary product, nor are we tied to any provider, so you can be rest assured that our advice is unconflicted – our focus is supporting you and your offering to clients and members.
