01 · Background

Who DuPont Pension Trust Fund is.

Historical Background: The Du Pont (U.K.) Limited Pensions Fund is a corporate pension plan for the employees of Du Pont (U.K.) Limited. The associated trustee company, Du Pont (U.K.) Trustees Limited, was incorporated in December 1994.
Source of Capital: The fund's capital is derived from contributions made by the sponsoring employer, Du Pont (U.K.) Limited, and its employees. It is a private, single-employer pension scheme.
Major Events: In 2024, the defined contribution (DC) section of the fund was transferred to a new plan called the DuPont UK Fidelity DC Pension Plan, managed by Fidelity Master Trust. Existing DC savings from the previous fund were also transferred to the new Fidelity-managed plan.
Allocation Strategy: The fund's primary objective is to provide retirement, death, and survival benefits to the eligible employees and beneficiaries of Du Pont (U.K.) Limited. The defined benefit (DB) section's assets are managed to meet its obligations to members, with administration handled by Barnett Waddingham. The defined contribution (DC) section is now managed by Fidelity, and Aviva previously provided investment services for the DC section.
