The Pensions Act 2004 has had a major influence on the role of trustees and on expectations of how they will manage occupational pension schemes. Trustees now have a statutory duty to know and understand the law relating to pensions and trusts, general funding and investment principles. They must also be conversant with their scheme documentation.

 

The revisions of the Code of Practice that took place in 2009 have underlined the continuing importance and development of these requirements.

 

Our course programme is designed to help trustees meet the challenging demands that their role entails. Mercer’s courses are designed to:

 

  • Provide you with the knowledge and understanding that you will require to perform your role effectively
  • Help you as a trustee meet your statutory duties under the Pensions Act 2004 and other legislation. The courses specifically cover the main areas set out in the Pensions Regulator’s Trustee Knowledge and Understanding scope guidance
  • Enable you to learn by sharing experiences and interacting with fellow trustees, practitioners and experts
