Prudential Corporate Pensions Trustee Limited (PCPTL)

Prudential Corporate Pensions Trustee Limited (PCPTL) is a corporate trustee company and was acting as trustee for the following three schemes, which wound-up with effect from 17 March 2021.
 
  • The Prudential Money Purchase Masterplan,
  • The Prudential Money Contracted-Out Purchase Masterplan, and
  • The Prudential Group Pension Savings Plan

Former members of the schemes now have a plan in their own name

Benefits for former members are now held under a plan in their own name – a change sometimes referred to as ‘endorsement’. This change does not affect any income or benefits that former members or any beneficiaries are entitled to.
