Aptia, a leading provider of pension administration services, has broadened its capabilities with the launch of consulting and actuarial services. 

The move builds on Aptia’s strong track record in administration and marks a significant step toward delivering a fully integrated suite of solutions for pension schemes and their members.

To support this move, Aptia has acquired Atkin Pensions, an independent, specialist firm of consulting actuaries and administrators. The acquisition is in response to many of Aptia’s existing clients seeking a bundled solution including actuarial, consulting and administration services.

To lead the new consultancy offering, Aptia has appointed Stuart Heatley, an experienced pensions expert with nearly thirty years of industry experience. 

Stuart joins from Capita, where he spent eleven years - most recently serving as Global Practice Leader at Capita Pensions Solutions. His comprehensive expertise and leadership will be instrumental in shaping Aptia’s integrated service proposition for clients. 

Bala Viswanathan, Aptia Founder and CEO, said: ‘Integrating actuarial and consulting expertise with our market-leading administration marks a significant milestone in Aptia’s growth. This directly addresses our clients’ requests for a comprehensive and integrated offering. 

‘Our continued investment in talent and technology is central to enhancing the value we deliver to our clients. It ensures we remain uniquely positioned to meet their evolving needs and enables us to support clients more effectively than ever before.’ 

Chris Atkin, founder of Atkin Pensions said, ‘Atkin Pensions has, over the past 30 years, built up an enviable reputation for providing sound advice and attentive service to trustees and scheme sponsors. We are excited at the opportunity to join Aptia and support their growth by developing a combined actuarial and administration offering for clients seeking a single bundled service solution.

‘With our deep expertise of providing a wide range of services in the pensions industry, we are confident that we can use our experience to help Aptia’s clients manage their schemes more effectively and efficiently in the future.’
