Pension Scheme Trustee

Acting as a Trustee of a Pension Scheme can, at times, seem like a full time profession. In fact, for many of the growing ranks of professional trustees, it is nowadays. What hope then for the employee or Director who is passed the poison chalice that is being a trustee of the company pension scheme?

One Finance Director summed up well the effect that increased legislation, governance and trustee knowledge had on his business when he said it had become:

“An £80m pension scheme with a manufacturing subsidiary”

We’re sure that many senior managers feel the same way. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. Now, more than ever, Trustees need pro-active independent advisors to keep them on track and out of trouble. The Pensions Regulator has set the bar high in terms of what he expects of pension scheme trustees. However, the Regulator also recognises that many small pension schemes, although well run, have limited resources.
