We are pleased to announce our sponsorship of the AMNT.
The AMNT is 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).
The AMNT launched in September 2010 because of feedback and comments from member nominated trustees 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. Since then the association has won universal support, including in the pensions media and among the pensions’ trade bodies: momentum continues to build.
With the help of sponsors such as Quantum, the AMNT’s membership has grown more than 45% over the year and now stands at 685. Their members represent nearly 500 pension schemes, with an overall AUM of some £662 billion.
In addition to hosting many pensions related functions throughout the year they also organise quarterly conferences on hot pension topics, with the aim of keeping their membership fully up to date and aware of all things related to this fast-changing industry. Their meetings allow members to discuss various items of common interest and enables them to seek input into any concerns they have in relation to their pension schemes. In addition, the AMNT successfully established the Red Line Voting initiative to enable pension schemes to take a more active asset ownership role – to become more responsible investors. See their websites at http://amnt.org and http://redlinevoting.org for further information.
