Pensions dashboards are schemes ready for the next step

TPR dashboards lead Lucy Stone emphasises that connection is just the start of the dashboards journey, urging schemes to keep up the momentum, focus on value data and embrace the opportunities to learn from user testing. We are edging ever closer to people being able to see all their pensions online at a time of their choosing, revolutionising how they plan for retirement. With the deadline for connection less than six months away, three quarters of all records are now connected to the central digital architecture being built by the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS).

Reflections on 20 years of Pension Risk Transfer

Buy-ins are now well-established and regularly dominate the headlines in the pensions press. But that has not always been the case. In this article, I reflect on how the buy-in came into being and why it has become the route of choice for many pension schemes. Take yourself back to March 2006. A small group of us at LCP was contemplating what the recent launch of a wave of new insurers seeking approval to write bulk annuities could mean for DB schemes. We saw potential benefit for trustees and sponsors, and so our Pension Risk Transfer practice was born.

Pensions governance and why it matters more than ever

Pensions have long been part of a school’s remuneration package. For teachers, this has historically been via the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (‘TPS’), with teachers contractually enrolled from the first day of employment, and for non-teaching staff, this has predominantly been via a Defined Contribution (‘DC’) arrangement. However, after several years of rapid change the landscape looks very different, with significant variety and diversity of pension offerings.
