Client feedback

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

“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. ”

PS Independent Trustees (PSIT) has been appointed trustee and Chair to a new Master Trust arrangement established by leading accounting firm Moore Stephens. Moore Stephens is the UK’s ninth largest independent accounting and consulting network, comprising over 1,700 partners and staff in 39 locations.

The Moore Stephens Pensions Master Trust is a multi-employer occupational pension scheme on a defined contribution (DC) basis. Designed to help employers provide a simple, qualifying workplace pension scheme that meets all the requirements of the new auto enrolment pension regime, it also provides flexibility and choice for employees.

Commenting on the appointment, said: “Employers using Moore Stephens’ new Master Trust will benefit from independent oversight and fresh thinking from the experienced team at PSIT. Our appointment as trustee and Chair ensures the Master Trust will meet the Regulator’s governance requirements, but our expertise in DC pensions will provide employers and members with the confidence that their scheme is well managed.

We are pleased to be working with Moore Stephens on this exciting opportunity and look forward to using our DC knowledge and experience as independent trustees to work in members’ best interests and ensure strong governance and value for money.”

Stuart Stroud, Director of Employee Benefits at Moore Stephens, commented: “We selected PS Independent Trustees to act as professional trustee to our new Master Trust based on their expertise and enthusiasm for the project. PSIT offered us a cost-effective and pragmatic solution to meet the regulatory requirements and we are looking forward to working with them.”
