Client feedback


Many organisations and people provide the services that clients need. In my opinion, the differentiator is in the way those services are provided and to that extent, Kathy embodies the qualities that I have come to value from PSITL. Kathy is organised but not fussy; diligent but not dogmatic; persistent without being pushy and compliant in a pragmatic way. Whilst she takes ownership and drives issues forward, Kathy is a team player who uses her and her colleagues experience to provide services to her trustee client whilst working closely with those like me representing the sponsoring employer. She works collaboratively with advisers but constructively challenges the scope of services, fees and service standards whenever necessary and makes sure that member needs are always taken into account. I enjoy working with her and trust that she will deliver what is required by the trustee and the members they represent in a manner satisfactory to the sponsoring employer.

Keen to assist and helpful.
We have a good partnership the team really understand what we need and our knowledge eg budgets - "we don't have a referee" - very helpful. Challenge advisers but with a practical objective. Thanks to PSGS, GMP equalisation has been just a process.

I find Colin proactive rather than reactive. He is also supportive.
Alex is the first professional trustee we have had and has revolutionised the way they look at things - helped above and beyond.

​They are very proactive and full of new ideas, they've brought better scheduling and better minute sets.

Unwinding ineffective scheme amendments and managing significant hidden liabilities

Topic:

Legal & governance

Date published:

Thursday, 18 July 2013

This case study looks at a scheme PSIT was appointed to as independent trustee to assist with the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) assessment process.

Our review of the scheme documents highlighted some interesting issues, including inadequate segregation of defined benefit and defined contribution assets and uncertainty over whether scheme changes had been made effectively.

The outcome was that hundreds of scheme members were affected and the scheme's funding position significantly altered.
