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.

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.
