About the Fund
The Roche Pension Fund is established as a trust so that it’s completely independent from the Sponsoring Employer, Roche Products Limited (the Company).
A separate Trustee company, called Roche Products Pension Trust Limited, manages the Fund in accordance with the Fund’s Trust Deed and Rules. The Trustee company has a board of Directors who are either selected by the Company or selected by the Fund membership (known as Member Nominated Directors, or MNDs). The Directors are often referred to as the Trustee Directors, or simply as trustees.
The Trustee board consists of four Company Nominated Directors (CNDs) and four Member Nominated Directors (MNDs).
The money you’ve saved up in the DC Section is a valuable benefit – but with all the talk of falling stock markets and recessions, we know some members might be worried about the security of their DC pension accounts.
You might have heard about the Pension Protection Fund, which provides a safety net for defined benefit (DB) pension schemes – but what about the DC Section?
The good news is that there are robust industry safeguards to protect the majority of DC pensions. There are strict rules that govern the financial strength of the companies we invest with, as well as the systems and controls they must have in place to protect your investments.
