Association of Member Nominated Trustees ( AMNT) Information

The Association of Member Nominated Trustees (AMNT) aspires to be a positive force and a prominent voice in the UK pensions industry today. Member nominees are very important – they share responsibility for vast sums of money and provide the intimate link between a pension scheme’s governance and its membership. The role is a challenging one too, as they often find themselves having to balance their duties with regular day-to-day commitments. AMNT believe that member nominees deserve the appropriate recognition and support through their own dedicated association. We are a not-for-profit organisation supporting member-nominated trustees, member-nominated directors and employee representatives of UK based pension schemes in the private and public sector (funded and unfunded). We launched with the support of Pitmans Trustees Limited, as a result of feedback and comments from member nominees who expressed a desire to be able to liaise with other member nominees, share experiences and build a community designed specifically to cater for their unique perspective within the pensions industry. Following our initial market research an inaugural meeting was held on Friday September 3, 2010, attended by individuals representing a range of schemes including Marks & Spencer, Telent, ICI, Atkins, Aegon, Coats, United Technologies Corporation, Kasbank, Clariant, Heygate and LBBD. Since then the association has won universal support, including in the pensions media and among the pensions’ trade bodies: momentum continues to build.
