CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
The Society of Pension Consultants (SPC) was formed in 1958 by the Insurance Brokers Organisation and is the representative body in the UK for the providers of advice and services needed to establish and operate occupational and personal pension schemes and related benefit provision. SPC's Members include accounting firms, solicitors, life offices, investment houses, investment performance measurers, consultants and actuaries, independent trustees and external pension administrators. Slightly more than half the Members are consultants and actuaries. The SPC is the only body in the UK to focus on the whole range of pension related functions across the whole range of non-State provision, through such a wide spread of providers of advice and services.
