What we do

A practical trustee service for group schemes.

Trident Pension Trustees Ltd takes on the role of trustee and the associated governance responsibility. The focus is practical: clear oversight, sensible challenge, prompt escalation and coordinated delivery across advisers and service providers.

Services

Corporate trustee support.

The service is designed for employers and group schemes that want experienced trustee support without adding unnecessary complexity to the existing adviser and administration structure.

Trustee appointment

Taking on the trustee role and putting a clear governance structure around responsibilities, reporting and decision-making.

Compliance oversight

Reviewing compliance requirements and ensuring that recurring trustee actions are tracked, evidenced and followed through.

Adviser coordination

Liaising with the administrator, investment manager, insurer and advisory providers so that the scheme runs in a joined-up way.

Risk and controls

Maintaining focus on the practical controls that matter: approvals, documentation, governance evidence and escalation routes.

Scheme reviews

Identifying whether scheme operations require review, whether processes are working and whether member-facing actions are being delivered properly.

Trustee training links

Working alongside Trident Consulting where scheme-specific trustee training or technical pensions support is required.

How we operate

Clear governance without unnecessary friction.

The trustee role works best when responsibilities are clear. Trident Pension Trustees Ltd sets expectations with the employer and service providers, then keeps focus on delivery, evidence and escalation.

Understand the scheme

Review scheme structure, current providers, governance calendar, key risks and immediate priorities.

2

Agree responsibilities

Clarify the trustee role, the employer interface, reporting routes and what each adviser or provider must deliver.

3

Monitor delivery

Track compliance actions, adviser output, administration matters and governance evidence.

4

Escalate when needed

Raise issues clearly, document decisions and keep the employer and relevant providers aligned.

Trustee role

From day-to-day compliance to strategic scheme issues.

The trustee role can cover routine governance as well as longer-term matters such as investment oversight, member outcomes, provider performance and changes in regulation.

Day-to-day governance

Maintaining trustee processes, approvals, records and regular monitoring of key scheme activities.

Investment oversight

Monitoring and reviewing investment arrangements periodically where this forms part of the trustee brief.
