Highlights from the Chair’s Statement
Each year, the Trustees are required to produce a Chair’s Statement. This sets out, in detail, how the Dell Scheme was run over the period. Some key points from the statement are highlighted below. You can view the full statement online via the Dell Scheme’s online library.
Value for members
The Dell Scheme's size and status helps the Trustees negotiate fund charges that are far lower than those of most pension plans.
0.37% is the default fund charge. This means for every £1,000 invested, you pay £3.70 a year in fees.
The average charge for a similar fund is 0.52%.
Other value-added features that Dell pays for:
