The Pensions Management Institute (PMI) was formed in 1976 to promote professionalism amongst those involved with pensions. It is an independent, non political organisation which establishes, maintains and improves professional standards in every aspect of pension scheme management and consultancy. PMI offers a range of other qualifications and certificates for administrators, trustees, international benefit specialists and those for whom pensions is just part of their work. Further details of all of these can be obtained from PMI House or this website. The PMI is a non lobbying professional body but works with government and other bodies in the financial sector to ensure the views of Members are put forward in a sound and impartial manner.
