Performance evaluation

The Board has procedures for assessing annually the Board’s performance relative to its objectives and the performance of its Directors. Annual assessment of performance includes:

review of performance against the Trustee’s strategic objectives
assessment of the Board and Directors in line with the Fit and Proper Policy and the Appointment and Renewal Policy
adherence to the Trustee’s governance framework.

The performance of the Board and Directors was evaluated using the above procedures for the 2017-18 financial year.

Summary of procedures

The Board conducts the annual performance review with the assistance of an external consultant. Its overall aim is to identify any issues relating to the Board’s operation that might prevent or hinder it from carrying out its functions. It involves Director surveys and/or interviews and a review of records relating to Directors’ adherence to Fund policies. The results of these are analysed to assess perceived strengths and development areas for the Board as a whole. A report of the assessment is considered by the Board and action plans are developed and implemented, as necessary, and monitored by the Board at each meeting.

Assessment of the competency of the Board and its individual Directors is conducted annually by the Trustee Secretariat under the Fit and Proper Policy. The fitness of a Director to continue in office is also reviewed at the end of each term, having regard to time already served on the Board, fitness and propriety and other factors.

Where a Director is found not to be fit and proper or other grounds for removal apply under the company constitution, the Trustee will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the person does not continue as a Director. In the case of a Director failing only to meet training requirements, the Board through its Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee will first attempt to assist the Director to meet those requirements.
