The school of thought that says there is no sustainability problem with defined benefit (DB) schemes is based on assumptions very far off from what actually happened over the past three decades, according to Cardano's chief executive officer.

Some 20% of FTSE 100 defined benefit (DB) pension schemes would be at risk of failure if the UK entered another economic downturn, research suggests.

Cardano has appointed Cédric Bucher as co-head of defined contribution (DC) in a new role where he is responsible for commercial expansion.

Cardano's defined contribution (DC) business has been selected by NEST to provide general investment advice and support fund manager selection exercises.

Last week's agreement on a regulated apportionment arrangement (RAA) to split Tata Steel UK (TSUK) from its defined benefit (SB) pension fund fails to answer fundamental questions.

The Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) has urged the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to refer the investment consulting market for a competition investigation.

Almost 40% of defined contribution (DC) providers are failing to provide members with necessary information to make informed decisions about retirement, according to a survey by Cardano.

Cashflow matching has become a much talked about topic as many closed DB schemes are about to turn cashflow negative. This requires a new approach for managing risks in what effectively has become the end game.

An argument has been made for DB schemes to copy corporate governance structures to boost trustees' accountability. James Phillips explores the idea
