Our Services | Professional Trusteeship

There is a clear trend to appointing a professional trustee to work alongside other trustees.

This could be driven by management wishing to:

Remain focused on their own business or avoid conflicts
Address poor perceptions amongst the membership
Bridge a communications gulf between the trustees and their advisors

The key to success is to understand a professional trustee is not a substitute for advisors. Instead, he or she acts as a conduit to the relationship between the trustees and their advisors.

Actuaries are well placed to be professional trustees – having in depth knowledge of pensions – both the benefits and the assets and crucially the relationship between them.

Actuaries who also practice as consultants to other pension schemes bring relevant knowledge, experience and skills.
