With the General Code now in force, trustees face growing pressure to demonstrate the effectiveness of their governance through the Own Risk Assessment (ORA).

Merry Christmas from the Pi team As the holiday season approaches, we want to take a moment to express our thanks to all our clients and professional advisers for their support throughout this year. It has been a year of growth, challenges, and accomplishments – and none of it would have been possible without the dedication, trust, and collaboration from everyone involved with Pi. We have seen our trustee team shortlisted for a number of awards, culminating in winning the 2025 Pinnacle Award for Innovation in Trusteeship, recognising years of hard work by our dedicated team.

The latest Budget delivers fewer shocks than expected, but the new £2,000 cap on salary sacrifice contributions raises important questions for pension schemes and employers.

Pi Partnership has been recognised by the PMI with the Pinnacle Award for Innovation in Trusteeship. The award reflects more than ten years of investigative work, member support and tailored governance undertaken by the Pi team after being appointed by TPR to a suspected pension liberation scheme. Their work secured 98.5 percent of original transfer values and helped rebuild trust for members who faced significant financial distress.
The Pensions Regulator is strengthening its oversight of professional trustees as governance models evolve across the UK pensions landscape. With more schemes using professional or sole trustee structures, TPR is assessing how firms operate, how decisions are made and where risks may arise. At Pi Partnership, we support proposals that enhance professionalism, transparency and accountability across the industry.
Everyone has different needs, and we support this balance offering true flexibility in how our people manage their time and fully support part time working and a family friendly approach.
