Pensions Bill Unpacked: Navigating change and consolidation

This webinar covers:

• Defined Contribution changes: The Pension Schemes Bill introduces significant changes for Defined Contribution savers, including a mandatory 5% investment in UK private markets, aiming to inject £15 billion into the economy by 2030.
• Value for Money: The Bill mandates pension schemes to assess and publicly rate their value for money, with the regulator having the power to override self-assessments and enforce actions like member transfers or scheme wind-ups.
• Small pot consolidation: Small pension pots under £1,000 will be consolidated into authorised central schemes to reduce administrative costs and improve efficiency, with potential future increases in the consolidation threshold.
• Default income strategies: Trustees are required to implement default retirement income strategies to provide regular income for members, with flexibility for multiple defaults based on individual member needs.
• ESG investment metrics: The bill emphasises the importance of forward-looking metrics and ESG considerations in investment strategies, aiming to ensure long-term responsible investing and better outcomes for pension members.
