Almost half (47%) of employers say defined benefit (DB) transfer requests exceed 5% of scheme members, an Association of Consulting Actuaries (ACA) study has found.

Over half of employers believe the need to fund defined benefit (DB) schemes is affecting their ability to improve employee pay, a survey by the Association of Consulting Actuaries (ACA) has found.
