As the administrator of the Plan, the WISE Trust Board of Trustees is responsible for the prudent administration and investment of the Plan and its assets, and has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the Plan’s members. The Trustees are well placed to fulfill this responsibility, as they collectively represent a breadth of experience, including expertise in pensions, law, finance and investments.
Finally, you should know that WISE Trust’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) reports directly to the Board of Trustees.
