With the increasing requirements for Pension Scheme Governance especially introduced via the Pension Schemes Act 2021 comes additional risk and cost. HS Trustees Ltd are able to offer both Independent & PCST services to provide help and an additional layer of expertise. WE can support your existing Chairman as an independent specialist or act entirely as a Sole Trustee for your scheme. The even better news is that we come from “commercial” backgrounds and understand the needs of Sponsors to de-risk, reduce costs and accelerate progress towards “Buy-out”. Whether supporting an existing Board or helping on a special project, HS Trustees can help using our APPT qualified Trustees.
HS Trustees are fully independent and therefore are happy to work with your existing administrators, actuary’s, pension lawyers, investment consultants and auditors. We are however mindful that service and cost are paramount in the effective running of any Scheme, and we will undertake regular reviews of all your service providers.
We hope you enjoy the site and because this is a “people based” business we would be delighted to talk with you to discuss your needs Face to Face or via Teams or indeed take part in any RFP.
