Regulation

The Pensions Regulator has told businesses to get their act together ahead of auto-enrolment's roll out next year.

The government has begun consulting on how insurers can use gender as a risk factor after a European Court of Justice ruling said providers could not charge different premiums to men and women because of their sex.

The Pensions Regulator will give trustees a "clear steer" on acceptable approaches to funding and recovery plans in the spring, Bill Galvin confirms.

There is "scope for tremendous confusion" if trustees try to comply with all of the defined contribution principles and initiatives currently in operation, a consultant says.

The Pensions Regulator has laid out six principles for defined contribution pensions to address the currently "mixed" standards across the market.

Chancellor George Osborne has confirmed the state pension age will reach 67 by 2026.

The Department for Work and Pensions has admitted it is ‘gravely concerned' over proposals to bring the IORP Directive more into line with the Solvency II.

The Pensions Regulator has moved to reassure employers auto-enrolment plans will remain on track after government's announcement enrolment dates will be delayed.

The government's delay to the auto-enrolment timetable has been met with dismay from the pensions industry and trade unions.

Auto-enrolment will not work without clear and transparent charges from pension schemes, the National Association of Pension Funds said today.
