The method for calculating pension transfer redress following unsuitable advice looks set to be overhauled by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) later this year.

The new pensions minister Richard Harrington MP has committed to auto-enrolment (AE) and master trust regulation as he set out his priorities for the role.

Rumours about the government banning members from transferring their defined benefit (DB) pensions will only fuel the fire, the Association of Consulting Actuaries (ACA) has warned.

Some people could face losses in excess of £1,000 per month due to delays in increasing the Pension Protection Fund's (PPF) compensation cap, according to estimates.

Mark Boyle responds to comments made by MP Frank Field about the regulator's investigation into the collapse of British Home Stores.

The government should drop the 'triple lock' for state pensions as it will become unaffordable, former pensions minister Baroness Ros Altmann has said.

The Pension Protection Fund's (PPF) compensation cap and restrictions on annual indexation increases could be at odds with EU law, according to a provisional judgement by the Court of Appeal.

The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has launched investigations into the conduct of a number of individuals involved with various Guinness Peat pension schemes between 2004 and 2012.

The Pension Protection Fund has announced the changes it will consider making to the Experian insolvency model for the 2018/19 levy ahead of the formal consultation.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has renewed its call for small and micro employers to ensure they are complying with their auto-enrolment (AE) obligations.
