As a result, we considered the full range of providers. We chose NOW: Pensions as it has the best cultural fit for ISS and we believe it will offer our employees the best mix of long term investment returns, strong risk management and low scheme costs for members. NOW: Pensions already has the experience of delivering auto enrolment successfully in other markets."
