BESTrustees appoints Danny Vassiliades as Professional Trustee

BESTrustees has announced the recruitment of Danny Vassiliades as a professional trustee. Danny joined BESTrustees on 1 May, after a long career as an actuary and strategic adviser to the UK pensions industry.

Before joining BESTrustees, Danny spent 18 years as Partner at XPS (formerly Punter Southall) where he was a scheme actuary and corporate adviser, specialising in funding and investment advice, with an ability to navigate complex financial landscapes and provide strategic oversight. Danny brings a deep technical knowledge of funding strategies, investment principles, and risk management across both DB and DC schemes as well as excellent communication skills.

“Danny’s recruitment underlines our objective of growing our business and maintaining the extremely high quality of client service. He has a fantastic reputation from his years as a client-facing consultant at Punter Southall and XPS. As an employee owned business we focus on doing what is right for each individual scheme and I have no doubt Danny’s style of working is aligned with our culture.”
Ann Rigby, Chair of BESTrustees

“I am delighted to be joining BESTrustees. There is always so much going on in pensions trusteeship and never more so than now. BESTrustees has a fantastic name in the industry for being completely independent which really appeals to me. They also have some exceptional people in their ranks and I am really looking forward to starting work with them.”
