ICTS Services
TRUSTEE AND MEMBER EDUCATION SERVICES
Investment Consulting and Trustee Services (ICTS) are industry leaders in trustee and member education. We have over 23 years’ experience in educating trustees and members of retirement funds on the legal, technical and investment issues surrounding their specific funds. We provide both generic open courses for trustees as well as fund-specific tailored courses taking care of both initial introductory courses for trustees as well as ongoing more advanced courses. This ensures that trustees not only continually meet the minimum compliance requirements set out in PF 130 but more importantly, feel empowered and confident to make a meaningful contribution in their trustee meetings.
SPECIALIST COMMUNICATION SERVICES
In accordance with the Financial Services Boards Practice Note PF130, all funds are required to compile and implement a communication strategy. Trustees are responsible for providing members with communication that is “appropriate”, “cost- effective” and in accordance with TCF (Treating Customers Fairly) principles which “allows all parties to understand the information and to make informed decisions...."
