...looking after members' interests

Each scheme has its own board of Trustees. The Trustees have a duty to ensure that:

• the Scheme operates in accordance with the Trust Deed and Rules
• its assets are invested in accordance with the Trust Deed and Rules, any overriding legislation and according to the Statement of Investment Principles
• they aim to safeguard the accrued benefits of the Scheme’s beneficiaries - ie the benefits that all members, active, deferred and pensioner, have already built up through membership of the Scheme and paying any contributions into the Scheme in the past.

The Trustee Boards meet regularly throughout the year to discuss their scheme. They review any issues and check that they are continuing to meet their obligations to members. The Trustee Boards take advice from specialist advisers on certain topics, for example, the investment strategy.
