ENQUIRE

  • "Avida is a great resource for investment governance solutions. Their practical experience, innovative thinking, and pragmatism are a strong combination."

    CHRIS HOGG | ex-CEO NATIONAL GRID PENSION SCHEME, ex-CEO ROYAL MAIL PENSION PLAN

  • “Pension governance and risk management must be regularly tested for rigour and effectiveness. The crisis management exercise Avida International and Strategia Worldwide organised for us was incredibly useful in identifying our strengths as well as isolating areas where improvements can be made. I would thoroughly recommend the exercise and Avida to fellow pension funds.”

    RICHARD LAW-DEEKS | CEO, ROYAL MAIL PENSIONS

  • “Avida International supported us to assess the operating model for investments we selected 5 years ago. Avida has a long experience and has seen many different models in the market. Following a structured project, which was led by Avida, we concluded that our operating model was best practice on most aspects, but some additional investments were needed to enhance our internal competencies regarding impact investing in private markets.”

    PIETER DE GRAAF | TRUSTEE, DOCTORS PENSION FUND, THE NETHERLANDS

  • “Avida International supported us in benchmarking our insourced fiduciary manager for our European Pension Plans against a group of international peers. Avida has a long experience in conducting peer group analysis on fiduciary managers and/or OCIO’s who are operating in different jurisdictions such as the UK, Benelux and Germany. Following a structured project plan and process, which was led by Avida, we concluded that there was no reason to go for a formal tender. We renewed our existing contract, based on the recommendations given by Avida”

    FRED NIEUWLAND | CIO MARS, INCORPORATED

  • “Avida’s guidance to the trustees in improving investment governance has been hugely helpful. I appreciated their professionalism, integrity and independence in helping us to explore the options and find the right solution for us as a board.”
