CEM Benchmarking Inc, a specialist in assessing value for money in pension scheme investment and administration, has expanded its UK team with the appointment of Rhijuta Dahal and Joao Barata as Investment Analysts and David Jennings as a Client Relationship Manager.

It says Dahal and Barata will deliver high quality cost and performance benchmarking analysis, and Jennings will manage an ever expanding portfolio of CEM's UK and European clients.

John Simmonds, Principal at CEM Benchmarking Inc, said: "The growing need for UK trustees to better understand their costs and generate value for money for their members has significantly increased demand for our peer group analysis and insight.

"To support this and our continued growth in the UK and Europe, we have moved into a new UK office and bolstered the existing UK-based team with more experts.

Dahal joins from Mercer's manager research team and Barata was previously an Investment Analyst at LCP and Mercer. Jennings has spent the last twelve years at Lazard Asset Management, managing a range of UK & European pension scheme clients.
