IGGiQ: transforming pension data analysis

IGG is revolutionising the way pension schemes use data, transforming it from a compliance and reporting obligation into a powerful tool for making better decisions.

That’s why we’ve introduced IGGiQ.

IGGiQ is a platform that gives pension trustees access to data from multiple sources in real time. By logging on to IGGiQ, trustees can assess and analyse all relevant data – from portfolio costs and performance to sustainability and ESG impact. This equips trustees to engage with asset managers and other providers on equal terms.

The IGGiQ platform employs cutting-edge AI technology to turn complex natural-language queries into intuitive graphics and charts. This allows trustees to gain deep data-driven insights and form holistic views – helping them to make decisions that are swift, well informed and accurate.

IGGiQ also lets its users create bespoke dashboards tailored to their specific needs. This fosters collaboration and ensures that all stakeholders have access to the most relevant data in the format that suits them best.

This enhanced visibility gives trustees better oversight and control of their investments, liabilities and risks. Ultimately, IGGiQ offers enhanced transparency, improved governance and better financial outcomes for all scheme members.

What does IGGiQ do?

	User-friendly, AI-driven liveboards.
	Customisable user metrics.
	Secure cloud data storage.
	Automated data collection.
	ESG integration.
	Holistic asset and liability analysis.

IGGiQ’s available modules

Cost Compare

A new approach to cost transparency. The “Cost Compare” module of IGGiQ allows schemes to view and interrogate the underlying costs associated with running their investment mandates. By benchmarking costs against those paid by comparable schemes and investors, Cost Compare provides complete transparency on all investment costs incurred – enabling trustees to negotiate strategically and drive fairness for their members.

Cost Compare is powered by ClearGlass. The partnership delivers unparalleled cost benchmarking for institutional asset owners through access to the most comprehensive real time data on the market. By analysing live data from over 500 asset managers representing £1.3trn assets. Cost Compare empowers trustees to make informed decisions about the costs of running a scheme’s investment strategies.

Unlike many fee surveys, Cost Compare offers visibility on the charges that asset owners actually pay, rather than hypothetical charges, ensuring trustees have a clear and accurate understanding of how competitive their fees are to underpin negotiation and delivery cost efficiency for their members.

ESG Insight

This shows a scheme’s asset allocation and supports more sustainable investment approaches. The module helps trustees and investment managers better understand and integrate ESG factors such as biodiversity, climate and alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, enhancing long-term outcomes for beneficiaries while ensuring transparency for all stakeholders.

As the pension market consolidates, having a coherent and consistent view of ESG metrics is essential. The ESG Insight module provides a baseline for all schemes, regardless of size or industry, facilitating collective action and informed decision-making.

We are constantly looking to enhance scheme data through strategic partnerships. Impact Cubed provides the data that powers IGGiQ’s ESG Insight. Impact Cubed’s data spans climate, people and nature metrics. Its commitment to evolving these metrics ensures that our datasets remain relevant as the ESG landscape evolves.
