Good pension governance is the basis from which all successful pension schemes are developed. The link between effective governance and fund performance is clear so forms an integral part of scheme management. With substandard pension governance, results are likely to be poor.
Effective governance requires motivated trustees that are both highly skilled and experts in the field. Ensuring the correct processes and structures are in place also forms important aspects of pension governance. Alongside these, the ability to make timely and correct decisions, assess and manage risk effectively and establishing clear scheme objectives are also required to ensure maximum scheme efficiency.
A robust and balanced pension governance framework helps trustees to perform their role effectively and successfully deliver the agreed scheme objectives. Trustee board governance should be proportionate, focused and support efficient scheme management. It helps a board strengthen to meet the changing demands of the scheme membership, employer objectives and new pension legislation.
