Core offering

Trafalgar House is a UK specialist third-party pensions administrator that delivers day-to-day pensions administration, member communications, and trustee governance services for occupational defined benefit pension schemes. Services are delivered by in-house pensions professionals using an integrated proprietary administration platform, a member self-service portal, and next-generation digital communications technology, with member experience, regulatory compliance, and trustee support positioned as the core value drivers for trustees and sponsoring employers.

Product overview

Trafalgar House offers a unified suite of pension administration services organized around three core pillars: Pensions Administration (core administration for defined benefit schemes), Member Communications (managing member-facing communications and engagement), and Trustee Governance (supporting trustee oversight and meeting processes). The company also produces the annual Trust & Confidence Index research, which surveys over 2,000 UK adults on pension industry trust levels. The service model emphasizes integrated technology combined with administration expertise, rather than a modular software platform with separately purchasable components.
