Simplifying scheme management
As a pension scheme trustee, you understand the challenges that come with managing Defined Benefit (DB) schemes. From increasing regulation to complex fund management, these responsibilities can be time-consuming and demanding. It is important to work with a pension provider that has expertise in making pension scheme management more efficient. TPT's DB Connect is designed to help trustees effectively manage DB schemes while ensuring optimal outcomes.
Why DB Connect?
TPT is a leading DB consolidator and one of the UK’s premier workplace pension providers. We have been managing pension schemes for over 75 years, as one of the largest DB Master Trusts open to new business in the UK, our DB assets under management currently stand at c.£6.5 billion.
Our mission is to make pension schemes perform better for everyone. To achieve our mission, we know we must continually evolve and innovate to meet the ever-changing needs of our members and clients. The introduction of DB Connect epitomises this philosophy as we wanted to provide a genuine consolidation model for pension schemes.
DB Connect was introduced as a result of identifying the need for a consolidation solution for schemes where the trustee(s) want to remain in place. Through integrating the service proposition there is a smoother data flow between administration, actuarial and investment functions which ultimately leads to time saved and lower running costs.
