Regulatory status and an unchecked lead

The Smart Pension Master Trust is **authorised and supervised by The Pensions Regulator**. Smart Pension Limited is **explicitly not FCA-regulated** and states it does not provide financial advice.

**Correction to a common error:** some page summaries suggest the certifier is SGS. The actual certificate names **Prescient Security LLC** — use the certificate.

**Unchecked lead:** Smart operates a Vanta-hosted trust centre at trust.smart.co which is JavaScript-rendered and could not be read automatically. It may list SOC 2 or additional reports worth adding.

Defaqto, Trustpilot, Investor in Customers and Living Wage marks are ratings and memberships, not certifications.
