Paul Houghton FIA

Partner

Paul is Scheme Actuary to a number of pension schemes ranging from £100 million to over £2 billion in size.

Paul enjoys helping his clients manage their entire funding plans. Paul recognises that a scheme valuation should reflect the characteristics of a scheme and will tailor his advice to reflect the age and profile of the scheme, the expertise of the trustees and the long-term plans for the scheme.

Paul is also passionate about the evolution of pensions as we move forward, taking an active role in the Firm’s strategy and helping to lay the framework to enable Barnett Waddingham’s actuaries to provide the long-term, tailored and independent advice which sets them apart.
