Trustee Responsibilities

Our service

Being a pension scheme trustee is harder than ever. Trustees are subject to ever-increasing responsibilities across the entire range of their duties.

Our overriding aim is to help trustees meet these responsibilities by providing practical advice in a user-friendly form. The areas where we can help trustees include the following:

• Explaining trustees' duties and responsibilities
• Advising trustees on the requirements of their scheme rules
• Providing practical advice on the exercise of trustee discretions
• Advising on the legal and practical operation of the Trustee Board and how the trustees can delegate responsibilities
• Providing up to date advice on the legal issues facing trustees, particularly the requirements under the new Pensions Act 2004
• Preparing and reviewing comprehensive user-friendly pensions documentation
• Advising in "crisis" situations (for example, in relation to funding deficit issues) where the trustees need quick, practical and proactive advice
• Providing a full service to trustees on scheme wind-ups
