Professional pension trustees

Whether you are looking to appoint an independent trustee to be part of a pension trustee board or to act as sole corporate trustee, you need to feel some real chemistry with the person you choose and be confident the pension trustee company's approach suits your style of working.

We act for DB and DC pension schemes as:

• chair of trustees
• independent trustee as part of a trustee board
• sole trustee
• interim professional trustee

There are many reasons why you might appoint a professional pension trustee, so it is important you find the pension trustee company that offers the right skills and expertise for your particular scheme and situation. As well as those that are particular to you and your pension scheme, key factors to consider include:

• experience
• qualifications
• commitment to professional standards
• degree of independence
• strength of the back up team
• availability
• credibility

Our reputation has been built on excellent client service. We build long-term relationships and have an open and constructive style of working to help our clients meet the challenges they face and achieve the goals they have set for their scheme.

In many cases, our role as professional independent trustee is to:

• effectively manage the often complex relationships involved in running the pension scheme - making balanced judgments, and using influence and commerciality where appropriate
• pass on the value of our experience to our co-trustees - helping them to develop
• provide a positive contribution to pension scheme governance and risk management - developing processes and solving problems to improve member outcomes
