Membership in the professional associations

Since 2011 Pension & Acruarial Consulting is a member of The Multinational Group of Actuaries and Consultants (MGAC).

MGAC was founded by independent actuarial and consulting firms to meet clients' needs for assistance in international benefits planning.

The MGAC approach to international consulting is characterized by:

• Effectiveness: Responding to each client's business objectives, competitive environment and human resource needs.
  Efficiency: Considering cost, administration and communications implications before recommending new benefits arrangements.
  Appropriateness: Being well placed to take account of national characteristics and customs, as well as applicable laws and regulations, both for international and local staff.

How MGAC Works

Member firms work together to provide clients with high-quality services related to the design, administration and communication of employee benefit plans.

The delivery of services is managed by a client coordination consultant, who acts as the client's link with the network. That consultant is responsible for coordinating the MGAC resources required for each assignment.

MGAC also has extensive links with organizations in other countries not formally represented, and is ready to assist wherever possible.
