The work of pensions professionals
Advisers, employers, trustees and pension providers can work together in designing and delivering effective pension provision.
It's clear that those involved in running a pension scheme rely on you as their adviser. Your expertise is crucial in making a pension scheme a success and helping us to protect members' benefits.
As a pensions professional, you may be:
- an actuary
- an auditor
- a pension provider
- a pension scheme manager
- an administrator
- a legal adviser
- a custodian
- an investment manager
- a financial adviser
or any other professional involved in running a pension scheme.

Pensions reform is on its way for 2012 and more employers will be looking for advice and support. You will play a key role in helping them to meet their new obligations.
Where they have a scheme already, they will need to think how the reforms apply to it, for example, the joining process and contribution levels. Where they do not have a scheme, they will need to decide what pension scheme or schemes they want to use for auto-enrolment.
We'll be providing a lot more information for you to help employers in the run up to the reforms - sign up for news-by-email and we'll keep you posted.
