Understanding your role
Your duties are wide-ranging - from the collection of contributions to the investment of assets and payment of benefits. Scheme members look to you to make sure that their pension benefits are secure.
Managing DB benefits
The areas of defined benefit (DB) scheme management key to ensuring a well-run and well-funded scheme.
Managing DC benefits
You need to focus on a number of areas if your scheme provides defined contribution (also known as ‘money purchase’) benefits.
Managing a scheme with mixed benefits
If you run a scheme that offers mixed benefits (sometimes known as a 'hybrid scheme') you need to manage the defined benefit (DB) elements as if they were a DB scheme and manage the defined contribution (DC) elements as if they were a DC scheme.
