What is Pension Trustee Liability (PTL) Insurance

A good Pension Trustee Liability Insurance policy (also referred to as PTL Insurance) stands in front of any potential indemnity and exoneration clauses to provide protection for Pensions Trustees, and schemes in the event of a claim, ensuring that they avoid the financial burden of a loss event.

Why do you need Pension Trustee Liability (PTL) Insurance

PTL insurance is an essential tool in managing the risks Pension Trustees face when running UK based pension schemes, transferring the risk of a loss from the Pension Scheme and Sponsor to the Insurer. Pension Trustees take on significant personal risk and can face unlimited personal liability if anything goes wrong, and Increased regulation and greater scrutiny of both DB and DC Pension Schemes, along with the implementation of the Pension Schemes Act 2021 means PTL Insurance has never been more important.
