Andrew Harrison
Trustee Director
I currently chair five DB pension schemes and am a trustee for several other schemes, varying in size from around £50 million to £10 billion. I am also a trustee on a number of DB investment committees, three of which I chair including a large scheme with a financial services sponsor. I sit on several specialist implementation and income generating end-game strategy sub-groups, two of which I also chairs.
Prior to joining LawDeb in 2017 as a professional trustee, I was Head of Fixed Income Product Specialists at Aberdeen Asset Management and prior to that MD of the LDI team at BlackRock/Barclays Global Investors where I worked with some of the largest UK pension schemes.
With an investment background, I have extensive experience of designing, implementing and managing liability driven investment (LDI) strategies, in addition to dynamic deficit-reducing investment strategies and end-game strategies covering a broad spectrum of asset classes.
I have also worked with various schemes to implement buy-ins and buy-outs; have experience of close engagement with the Pensions Regulator and has worked closely with a challenged sponsor to implement a robust quarterly covenant monitoring process.
I am currently Chair of the CFA Technical Committee that oversees the CMA required reporting standards in fiduciary management.
A King’s College and London School of Economics alumnus, when not keeping an eye on the financial markets, I can be found walking or listening to music, preferably blues.
