As part of our continuing attempt to paint a picture of the pensions industry, this week we asked about Buzz contributors' reading habits.

Jack Jones looks at the industry’s response to TPR’s proposals on overseeing defined benefit

Jack Jones on the watchdog's difficult balancing act

This week, we want your view on whether investment consultants should be regulated.

The deficit at Barclays' UK Retirement Fund increased 75% in 2013, hitting £1.4bn by the end of the year.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants Staff Pensions Fund has secured a medically underwritten buy-in to cover its highest value pensioner members.

This week Pensions Buzz looks at women in pensions. Find out if the industry thinks there are enough women on trustee boards, and whether quotas are needed.

Having rejected quotas, more than four out of ten contributors said there was no need for schemes to do anything to encourage more women to become trustees.

Despite concerns in some quarters about the lack of women on boards, contributors firmly rejected the use of quotas to even up the numbers. Just 14% supported some form of quota.

The majority of Buzz respondents said trustee boards did not need to reflect the gender balance of their schemes' memberships. Contributors said that trustees represented the scheme as a whole, rather than any particular constituency.
