Morley Fund Management, one of the UK’s largest fund managers, has launched TrusteeTutor.com. This free website has been developed for pension fund trustees seeking to maximise their understanding of the pension fund management industry.
TrusteeTutor.com covers areas such as:
- The role of pension fund trustees
- The different types of occupational pensions schemes available
- An introduction to investments
- The role of independent consultants
- Myners’ Review and FRS 17
The website has been designed to complement trustee training days which Morley is hosting for its clients.
The need for full trustee training has been gaining importance since the Pensions Act 1995 placed new responsibilities on trustees and imposes penalties if they are not met. This attitude has also been strongly echoed in the Myners’ Report which was published in 2001.
Alistair Morrison, managing director, Institutional at Morley Fund Management, said: “Following the Pensions Act 1995 and the Myners’ report, the need for full trustee training is more important today than ever before. It is essential that trustees are well briefed and aware of their responsibilities in this increasingly complex environment. Morley believes that fund managers have a role to play in the education of trustees and we are therefore delighted to be able to offer TrusteeTutor.com to UK pension fund trustees.”
TrusteeTutor.com is a free source of information aimed at pension fund trustees. It can be accessed at www.trusteetutor.com
