Welcome

This blog is intended to encourage an exchange of ideas and promote debate about the financial issues that arise in a relationship breakdown. The concept is to create a platform for discussion that is not available elsewhere. Aimed mainly at professionals working in this area; lawyers, accountants, financial advisors and actuaries, it is also a potential source of information for the general public.

In our experience there is a significant variance in how professionals handle pension assets in divorce, with little consensus on which methods give the best outcome. We feel this is due in part to a lack of centralised knowledge and debate on what can be a complex issue. We intend to address this by posting our original articles on key subjects, as well as those contributed by others. Our intention is to post quality, discussion-worthy topics at least once a month, or more often if the need arises.

We encourage comments and contributions from all. Comments can be added to the articles on-line, if you would like to submit an article please email us at ancillaryactuary@bradshawdixonmoore.com.

Before leaving a comment, please read our comments policy.

BDM appoints John Riley as Actuarial Consultant

Bradshaw Dixon Moore, the actuarial and administrative professional services firm, is pleased to announce that it has appointed John Riley as an Actuarial Consultant to the firm. 

John, who will be closely involved in all aspects of Bradshaw Dixon Moore’s actuarial work, is a qualified actuary with experience advising on the valuation of pensions.  He spent nearly 30 years at Sun Life Assurance Society, principally in marketing, product development and corporate and business planning, and oversaw the development of all the Group’s international activities, directly managing its overseas operations. 

Since leaving Sun Life in 1997, John has successfully developed his own actuarial consultancy business, taking on actuarial work in a range of projects and activities, including the industry-wide Pension Review, which took place after the pension mis-selling scandal of the late 1980s.  More recently, he has become involved with work on Pensions on Divorce.  John will now be applying his experience and expertise in conjunction with the other specialists and professionals at Bradshaw Dixon Moore to assist in the firm’s continuing growth. 

Peter Moore, Managing Director of Bradshaw Dixon Moore, comments on the appointment:  “We are delighted to welcome John onboard.  He is an excellent addition to the firm’s advisors, and we look forward to drawing on his talents and expertise as we continue to offer the best technical solutions to complex pension issues.” 

John will be working with the dedicated staff in Bradshaw Dixon Moore’s newly established Rustington, Sussex office, including a legal administrator, pension administrator and actuarial technician.
