Scottish Widows has told the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) that performance fees should not be allowed in defined contribution (DC) pension defaults.

Professional Pensions’ parent company Incisive Media is pleased to announce that Scottish Widows is an insight partner for its inaugural Sustainable Investment Festival in June.

Professional Pensions is holding a webinar on how the pensions industry can make a real impact when it comes to ESG – asking what is better, to engage or to divest.

Scottish Widows has invested £2bn of pension fund assets to become the inaugural investor in BlackRock’s authorised contractual scheme (ACS) Climate Transition World Equity Fund.

Scottish Widows has unveiled an updated stewardship policy detailing how it will undertake stewardship and engagement activity in support of its responsible investment framework.
