NAPF

The National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) has called for a fundamental rethink of the regulation of trust-based schemes in a bid to improve governance standards.

The pensions industry needs to take a more positive approach to the post-Budget changes, according to Association of British Insurers director-general Otto Thoresen.

The NAPF is to widen its focus to support smaller employers as well as taking a broader view on lifetime savings.

The industry has been urged to embrace new asset classes and retirement income freedoms by Sir Bob Geldof.

The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) has launched a consultation on solvency rules for EU pension schemes.

The National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) is in discussion with the Pensions Management Institute (PMI) on joining together.

Concerns are growing that defined contribution (DC) members who opt for income drawdown at retirement might not understand the risks they are exposed to.
