Anna Eagles

I am an experienced member of our professional trustee team, representing LawDeb on a number of Boards and Committees for trust-based arrangements as well as on governing bodies for contract-based arrangements (under the FCA’s regulatory regime). 

I am the LawDeb representative as a general trustee on the Aviva Master Trust board, and sit on its Audit & Risk Committee and Member Experience and Communications Committee. I sit on Vanguard’s Independent Governance Committee responsible for overseeing the investment pathways for the Vanguard Self-invested Personal Pension arrangement. 

I also represent LawDeb in various committee Chair roles on three hybrid schemes (ranging from £1bn to  £10bn) and a DB arrangement (over £1bn). I am is equally comfortable not chairing and enjoy supporting fellow trustees on DB and hybrid Boards, as well as being an integral part of LawDeb’s Sole Corporate Trustee team.

I encourage collaboration and accountability within the Boards that I join, and apply energy and empathy to influence and get results.  I am passionate about DC – helping improve members’ retirement and savings outcomes through better governance, value for money, information, and education. 

Prior to LawDeb, I was a Senior DC Consultant at Willis Towers Watson, having started out as an actuarial consultant 20+ years earlier. During my time at WTW, I advised both trustees and corporate clients on DC, DB and hybrid schemes and on operational areas. My DC focus covered many areas including governance frameworks; lifestyle/freestyle investment designs; provider selection and benchmarking; member engagement; regulatory and legislative changes including pension freedoms and auto-enrolment. 

A pensions actuary by training, I am an Accredited Member of the Association of Professional Pension Trustees and a Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries who loves Fast & Furious films, “enjoys” building fishponds and run-walk-running in my spare time.
