The Pensions Regulator

Defined benefit (DB) pension schemes must stay alive to heightening risks to funding from sponsor covenants, climate change and longevity experience, The Pensions Regulator (TPR) says.

Trustees have been warned to keep an eye on weakening employer covenants even after a positive aggregate funding experience in the last three years as myriad funding and investment issues pose risks to defined benefit (DB) schemes.

The revised defined benefit (DB) funding code is not likely to be live until late 2022, The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has said.

Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) teams are under more administration pressure than ever with the raft of regulation and legislation such as McCloud, according to a Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) panel.

Many trustees are not fully aware of the new requirements of The Pension Regulator’s (TPR) combined code of practice, giving them little time to prepare for change, Barnett Waddingham says.

The Pensions Regulator’s (TPR) chief executive Charles Counsell has called on gig economy companies to offer pensions to eligible workers so they can have a decent standard of living in retirement.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) are asking the industry for feedback on how to improve customer decisions about pensions at key life points.

Dawn Heath says the government has abdicated responsibility to the regulator over how to apply new criminal sanctions.

Pension transfers will be red flagged and blocked if savers have been approached via social media under stronger anti-scam plans set out by the government today.

David Weeks says there needs to be greater clarity around incoming pension sanctions
