Lincoln Pensions, the leading specialist pensions covenant advisory firm, is rebranding and becoming Cardano Advisory.

Cardano Advisory now provides expert advice to more than 350 clients with scheme assets exceeding £300 billion, and it has recently launched its award-winning ESG service (MACCI) and an IRM journey planning tool (PensionSketch).

The name change legally takes effect from 4 October 2021. The fiduciary management and investment advisory capabilities within Cardano will remain distinct and all existing regulatory measures between the two will be maintained.

In addition to today’s rebrand, Cardano has also created a new visual identity and will launch a new website in the coming months.

Darren Redmayne, CEO of Cardano Advisory, said: “Since becoming part of Cardano in 2016, we’ve further grown and evolved our business from being a leading covenant boutique into a broadly-based advisory business better able to support our clients’ needs in critical and developing areas such as sustainability. The time has come for us to present a single name to the outside world – as the advisory business of Cardano. We are proud of what we’ve achieved as Lincoln Pensions and are excited about our future as Cardano Advisory.”

Mickey de Lathauwer, Cardano Group CEO, said: “Cardano has a purpose to help deliver safer and sustainable financial futures for all. We strive to lead our industry, help secure great outcomes for our clients and also to deliver wider benefits to society. It’s a vision we share with the team at Lincoln Pensions, and we’re honoured to now share a name with them.”
