Please join us for an informative half-day event in Manchester or London, focusing on our ongoing ‘future of trusteeship and governance’ consultation.
You'll have the opportunity to hear from our experts, network with other trustees and have your chance to share your thoughts with us on the future of trusteeship.
About
We're currently running a 12-week public consultation about the future of trusteeship and governance of occupational pension schemes. We want to reform standards so all savers are in schemes that deliver good value.
The consultation covers three key areas:-
1. Trustee knowledge and understanding, skills and ongoing learning and development
We want to look further at whether those managing schemes have the right knowledge and understanding and appropriate skills, and that these are kept up to date.
2. Scheme governance structures for effective decision-making
We want to look at how boards could become more diverse, inclusive and be able to demonstrate that they have the right mix of skills, knowledge and understanding for running the scheme, including our aspiration to see an accredited professional trustee on every board in the future.
3. Driving DC scheme consolidation
We are looking at how to remove barriers to consolidation, to ensure more savers have access to well-run schemes.
We are keen to hear views from industry to inform our thinking and next steps, and to consider what more can be done (including changes to the legislative framework) to ensure savers have access to better governed schemes in the future.
We hope you’ll be able to join us in either Manchester or London. But whether you can make one of the consultation events or not, we encourage you to visit the dedicated consultation document on our website.
