Value for members

The Scheme receives an excellent value-for-money rating. The Trustee is committed to ensuring that members receive value from their Scheme membership. The latest value-for-members assessment, carried out by the Trustee and Willis Towers Watson, the Scheme’s investment consultant, looked at key areas of the Scheme as well as the general characteristics of the Scheme’s membership. You can find the full assessment on the Charges & Governance page. Overall, the Trustee concluded that the combined value provided to members by the Scheme’s governance and management, administration, investment and communication services offers good to excellent value for members when compared with the overall level of charges met by members. Scheme Governance and Management continues to offer excellent value due to a dedicated committee responsible for the monitoring of the Scheme’s value for money. The Trustee also believes its communication service continues to offer excellent value, and is an area the Trustee is continually developing to improve member engagement.
