Professional Independent Trustee
Professional Independent Trustees are people who are employed as Trustees and bring an expert level of knowledge to a trustee body. The majority of independent Professional Trustees have had long careers in the pensions industry as professional advisors to pension schemes and have a wealth of knowledge. Having an independent professional trustee is not compulsory, many schemes operate without one, and it is a sign of the high standards of governance which are applied when managing PACE that the scheme has an Independent Trustee Appointment. PACE's Professional Independent Trustee is Clive Gilchrist who is managing director of BESTrustees PLC, one of the UK's leading Professional Trustee Firms.
