deVere Group has launched a dedicated workplace advice division which will provide whole of market advice to current and former employees of larger businesses.

At least 26% of medium-sized employers currently use pension schemes that do not meet the government's proposed 0.75% auto-enrolment (AE) charge cap, Jelf says.

Mercer has been appointed as the preferred provider of defined contribution (DC) schemes to more than 200 UK higher and further education institutions.

Many trust-based DC pension schemes already offer more than the ‘guidance guarantee' to their members and are worried about being forced to ‘dumb down' standards, according to the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF).
