Andrew Kerrin

Andrew joined the 3173 Group of companies in 2013 as an actuarial trainee and worked as part of the Actuarial and Investment Function. He obtained a Postgraduate Diploma in Actuarial Science in January 2017, qualified as a Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries in December 2022. Andrew was awarded full accreditation as a Professional Trustee by the Association of Professional Pension Trustees in October 2021. Prior to joining the 3173 Group, Andrew studied law and practised as a barrister at the Northern Ireland Bar for seven years. He has experience working for private pension schemes, mainly in the provision of actuarial services to trustee and corporate clients. Andrew has also worked in the Not-for-Profit Sector Function, assisting a variety of organisations across the UK with reviews of their pension options, including the provision of liability management exercises. Andrew now works in the Consultancy Function, where he is able to use his actuarial and legal knowledge in the area of pension trusteeship. He is currently specialising in on-going trustee appointments made by The Pensions Regulator, in relation to schemes suspected of investment scams and pensions liberation. Working as client manager for several emergency trustee appointments, Andrew has gained experience in the investigation of unregulated investments and dealing with the unique challenges associated with the administration and management of these types of schemes. As a self-employed barrister, Andrew worked across various disciplines of the legal system and developed strong analytical, communication and negotiating skills. Andrew utilises his legal knowledge within the 3173 Group and is working towards building a specialism in pensions law, which is particularly relevant to his work within the Consultancy Function. His spare time is spent chasing after his two young daughters and his family enjoy long weekends in their caravan and visiting friends.
