Manweb Group of the Electricity Supply Pension Scheme

Your retirement benefits explained | February 2025

Welcome to your guide to the Manweb Group of the Electricity Supply Pension Scheme (the “Group”). It explains everything you need to know about your retirement benefits in the Group including any choices you may need to make. It should be used at every stage of your retirement planning.

Please note that this guide is intended to be a general summary of the benefits the Group provides. As such, there may be individual circumstances which differ from the benefits set out in the guide and the Group’s Trust Deed and Rules will always take precedence over this guide.

If you have any queries about the Group, please look on OneView or contact Aptia.

Independent financial advice

You should always consider taking independent financial advice before making any decisions about your retirement benefits. You can find a full list of FCA-regulated advisers at www.fca.org.uk/register.

How the Group is managed

Legal information The Group is managed by the Directors of Manweb Corporate Pension Trustee Limited (the “Trustee”). It’s their duty to run the Group in the best interests of you and your dependants. Some of the Directors are appointed by the Company and some are appointed by members.

The Trustee runs the Group in accordance with current pension laws and a formal document which records the governance of, and benefits provided by, the Group, called the “Trust Deed and Rules”. This guide gives you a summary of the Group benefits, but if there are any differences then the Trust Deed and Rules and pension laws will override this summary.

All relevant Group documents are held on OneView. The Trustee Report and Accounts can be provided on request.

Data protection The Trustee needs to hold personal data about you and your dependants to be able to run the Group. The Group’s Privacy Information Notice can be found on OneView – this includes details of our advisers and service providers.
