What FACTS does

Asesores FACTS, S.C. (operating as FACTS) is a Mexico City-based actuarial and financial consulting firm that has operated for more than 20 years, delivering pension plan design and actuarial valuation services across both Mexican and U.S. regulatory frameworks. The firm's core service offering centers on three specialized compliance tracks — NIF D-3 (Beneficios a los Empleados, post-retirement benefits accounting), NIC-19 (employee benefits under IFRS), and USGAAP (ASC 715) — alongside traditional actuarial valuation studies and the design of defined-benefit and defined-contribution pension plans. The firm positions itself as a specialist partner for organizations navigating the technical intersection of actuarial science, labor law, and financial reporting standards, serving six distinct client segments: social security institutions, universities, parastatal entities, private companies, cooperatives, and individuals.

The firm's go-to-market is structured around project-based professional services engagements, where long actuarial studies (typically multi-year valuation cycles) and ongoing compliance work generate recurring institutional relationships. The firm's actuarial staff hold certifications from AMAC (Asociación Mexicana de Actuarios) and CONAC (Colegio Nacional de Actuarios), the two principal Mexican actuarial credentialing bodies, providing third-party validation of technical competence in a regulated advisory discipline. The firm also offers a "Plan Personal de Retiro" service targeting individual retirement planning, indicating an attempt to extend beyond institutional clients to retail customers, and claims an international practice reach.

With a headcount of 1–10 employees, FACTS operates as a boutique specialized practice rather than a scaled platform. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service consulting engagements with no disclosed productized offering, subscription pricing, or technology platform. The firm's scale and longevity suggest a stable, relationship-driven operating model concentrated on a limited number of institutional accounts, with limited evidence of headcount expansion, external capital, or aggressive go-to-market scaling over its two-decade operating history.
