Opt-out

The Pensions Act 1995 first introduced requirements for MNTs and MNDs. Under the requirements in the Pensions Act 1995, the employer could 'opt-out' of the requirements and propose their own arrangements for choosing trustees, provided they obtain the members' approval of the arrangements. This is commonly known as an 'opt-out.

Under the requirements for MNTs and MNDs in the Pensions Act 2004, employers can no longer opt-out and propose their own arrangements.

If you want to know more about the considerations for trustees of these schemes see Opt-out in place.
