Jack Jones investigates asset-backed contributions

Steve Webb has outlined two "big bang" solutions to the issue of small pot consolidation.

The government's proposed cuts to public sector pensions will not go far enough to plug the schemes' funding gaps, Labour peer Lord Hutton warns.

The small-self administered scheme market will become bogged down with "unsustainable and time-consuming bureaucracy" due to new Pensions Act requirements, a provider says.

Less than a quarter of finance directors are aware of the effect of auto-enrolment on their company pension, according to research.

The delay in auto-enrolment staging dates for smaller firms gives all UK businesses a cut in future payroll costs, a law firm says.

Auto-enrolment staging dates and contribution increases for thousands of firms will be delayed or changed, the pensions minister confirms.

The Treasury must create instruments focussed specifically on the needs of pension schemes if it is to persuade them to invest up to £50bn in infrastructure, argue industry figures.

Calls to lift the annual indexation cap from Financial Assistance Scheme compensation have been dismissed by pensions minister Steve Webb during a Parliamentary debate.

The Department for Work and Pensions is set to spend £10m on communications to ensure auto-enrolment is a success, pensions minister Steve Webb says.
