Pension scheme governance

Keeping your scheme compliant and effective

Get in touch

Good pension scheme governance is essential. It underpins efficiency, allows for easier reporting, and results in better outcomes for scheme members. Yet keeping up-to-date with the legislative requirements imposed upon pension schemes can be an arduous task.

Whether your scheme is defined benefit or defined contribution, and whether you need full pension scheme governance services or help with a relatively small task, our pension scheme governance experts are here to help.

Our team has helped trustees with their pension scheme governance for over 30 years. We’ve created an environment where ‘doing the right thing’ at the right time is central to everything we do.

We coordinate stakeholders, ensure actions are progressed, and understand how decisions made in one area impact others. To put it another way, we’re the glue that keeps everything together.

Our services

  • Trustee secretarial services

    Good governance is the bedrock of any well-run scheme. We offer skilled trustee secretarial services to facilitate pension scheme governance, trustee meeting management, communication, and compliance.

  • Trustee effectiveness

    Using our team as an experienced specialist resource to review trustee effectiveness means you can focus on delivering successful member outcomes. This is supported by BoardClic, our specialist analytical tool which grants deeper insights into trustee effectiveness.

  • Pension scheme risk management and mitigation

    We’ll help you to manage risks by establishing appropriate mitigation control and trigger points, so you can be better positioned to focus on other key areas of pension scheme management.

  • Pension scheme governance and secretarial training

    We’re ideally placed to provide training on all elements of pension scheme governance, including cyber security, data protection (GDPR), trustee inductions, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing, and meeting the requirements of the General Code of Practice.
