The UK pensions system remains relatively ungenerous and unequal compared to other countries, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has said.

Master trusts have escaped significant regulatory scrutiny despite their surge in usage under AE since 2012, but this will soon change. James Phillips reports.

But 'clearer case' for change expected in 2020

Professional trustee firm 2020 Trustees was fined £4,000 for failing to produce two chair's statements between July and September 2017, The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has revealed.

Employers which pay just lip service to their auto-enrolment (AE) duties risk being sued if members fail to receive good outcomes, according to Royal London and Eversheds Sutherland.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has successfully prosecuted a bus company and its managing director for deliberately failing to provide staff with a workplace pension scheme.

Extending auto-enrolment (AE) to workers in the gig economy could grant them a lump sum of £75,600 at retirement, Zurich and Pensions Policy Institute (PPI) research suggests.

PP research shows huge support for helping workers plan for retirement.

The industry holds mixed views on government policy in defined contribution provision, Professional Pensions research has found.
