NEST, Aegon Master Trust, Ensign Retirement Plan, Creative Pension Trust and the Baptist Pension Scheme have been authorised by The Pensions Regulator (TPR).

Contract-based schemes could face requirements to disclose their firms' policies on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues under Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) plans.

Sacker has appointed Emily Whitelock, Shannon Diggory and Tony Hewitt as associates to help meet ongoing demand.

Former Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) life insurance and financial advice director Linda Woodall has been appointed to Aegon's independent governance committee (IGC).

Independent governance committees (IGCs) may see their remit expanded to include reporting on social investing issues under Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) plans unveiled in its business plan today.

Responses to the Professional Trustee Standards Working Group's consultation have flooded in. While the industry mostly welcomes the proposals, there is disagreement on some areas, writes Kim Kaveh.

Sackers has hired Harriet Dove and Mike Fallow as associates, bringing its total number of lawyers to 53.

Sackers has promoted pension lawyers Jacqui Reid, Ralph McClelland and Lucy Dunbar to partners, bringing the total number up to 28 across the firm.

Aegon has appointed Dougy Grant and Paul Bucksey to its independent governance committee (IGC).
