Thomas Jarman

I am a Senior Consultant in LCP's DC Investment team. I advise some of the UK's largest defined contribution (DC) pension schemes on investment strategy, with a particular focus on strategic asset allocation, default fund design and private markets implementation. I hold the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) charters.

I lead our private markets proposition, working closely with trustees, master trust investment teams and client advisers to support the design and implementation of private markets solutions within DC arrangements. My work spans manager selection, mandate design, implementation and ongoing monitoring, helping clients navigate the complexities of bringing private markets investments into a DC environment.

I have completed multiple secondments within a master trust's internal investment team, supporting them on strategic asset allocation and wider investment strategy decisions. This experience gives me valuable insight into the workings of internal investment teams and how I, as a consultant, can best support them.
