Welcome to Idea Group

Idea Group specialises in the institutional investment fund market, providing management consultancy and IT services that help customers to identify and implement changes within operational functions to enhance service delivery, better mitigate risk and reduce cost. Within this market we have expertise in a number of different areas including corporate pensions (both DB and DC), structured products and segregated funds. Our customers include investment managers and product providers, pension scheme administrators and professional pension trustees.

Our consultancy services are focused on identifying practical solutions to business issues, by applying innovative thought leadership together with the knowledge and experience that our team has gained from many years of working with customers in this market. We actively embrace new ways of working and will always seek to challenge the status quo; in particular we are strong advocates for the use of straight through processing to automate business processes and play a leading role in driving the industry forward in this area.

Our approach to IT is to implement the solution that best allows customers to achieve their desired results and as such this may be the development of bespoke applications to meet specific customer needs or the selection of packaged products.

In all cases, we offer flexible and complete solutions to operational process challenges that deliver tangible improvements to customers.
