"Illuminate is outstanding and undoubtedly the best interactive funding and investment modelling tool I have seen. It allows trustees to understand and explore the complex relationships needed for effective and robust decision making."
An innovative approach
Illuminate is at the heart of the advice we provide to our clients.
We use it to formulate and present our advice – whether it be on scheme funding, endgame strategy, investment or liability management. This joined-up approach allows us to see the big picture.
Illuminate is also highly flexible. It allows our consultants to provide advice which is clear, relevant and tailored for each client. We believe this is much more valuable than an ‘off-the-shelf’ solution.
Where is your pension scheme heading?
Tailored precisely to your pension scheme, Illuminate helps you to see things more clearly – using real time data to give you an instant overview of your scheme and the key risks.
Using Illuminate we can help trustees and sponsors make informed decisions on their pension scheme strategy. Applying our DB Navigator framework, our experts can help you analyse all of the risks facing your pension scheme, and implement effective funding and investment strategies designed to help you reach your endgame. Illuminate can then be used to track your progress over time and refine your strategy, as necessary. View our short video to find out more about Illuminate and how it can help you.
Illuminate – Global View provides:
As a pension, finance or risk professional with responsibility for defined benefit pension arrangements keeping a handle on the overall funding level can be a chore.
Many of your advisers will provide you with access to funding level tracking software for the plan they advise, but getting a real-time view across multiple plans or regions can be time consuming.
Our software, Illuminate – Global View, solves this challenge by providing a tracking single portal for all your defined benefit pension plans both in the UK and overseas.
Mapping the course of
your DB pension scheme

Barnett Waddingham introduces DB Navigator® – our holistic Actuarial, Investment and Administration approach that gives you the knowledge, structure and tools to optimise your strategy for tackling the journey towards your DB endgame.
