Spotlight on Labour’s Pension Schemes Bill
Explore expert insights on Labour's Pension Schemes Bill and find how it may pave the way towards better retirement outcomes. Featuring views from Michael O'Shea and Georgina Taylor.
Following extensive engagement with stakeholders, the UK government, The Pensions Regulator (TPR), and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) are proposing a joint Value for Money (VfM) framework for default defined contribution (DC) workplace pension arrangements, with the collective aim of ensuring that these arrangements operate more effectively in the long-term best interests of members.
The FCA is consulting on the details of the framework, proposing a number of regulatory measures to enhance scrutiny over default and “quasi-default” arrangements, with certain exemptions. The FCA also aims to introduce new requirements for arrangements underperforming across various metrics relative to their peers.
In the brochure below, Michael O’Shea, Director of Government Relations and Public Policy, will discuss the FCA’s proposals aimed at enhancing the value delivered by default DC workplace pension arrangements. Key areas of focus include increasing transparency around investment performance, quality of services, costs and charges, and asset allocation. To ensure these arrangements consistently deliver value to members, the FCA also intends to strengthen existing assessment processes by requiring regular and objective comparisons with other in-scope arrangements across a range of metrics.
