Anika Soanes

I am a DC specialist with over 18 years’ experience advising clients on the design, implementation, and ongoing review of investment strategies, including supporting schemes transitioning to master trust arrangements. I have helped numerous clients enhance both their default investment strategies and the self-select fund ranges available to members.

I have significant experience supporting asset transition projects, working with trustees, providers and advisers to ensure smooth implementation and strong member outcomes.

I also help lead our research into default investment strategies across bundled platforms, including master trusts.

More recently, I have supported a wide range of trust-based wind-ups, advising on the effective treatment of legacy DC benefits, including AVCs.
