This section describes a range of employment and post employment benefits provided to our people and our relationships with other key people.

3.1 Key Management Personnel Remuneration

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Fund directly or indirectly, including any Trustee (whether executive or otherwise) of that Fund. The Fund has determined the key management personnel to be the Trustees.

Under Part 2, Section 11 (1) of the Services Trust Funds Act 1947, Trustees are not entitled to receive from the Fund any remuneration for any work done by them in relation to the administration of the Fund. Under Part 2, Section 14 of the Services Trust Funds Act 1947, a person who is a Trustee or a dependant of a Trustee shall not receive any benefits from the Fund.

The Trustees received no remuneration or loans during the period.
