    • How DC schemes can gain exposure to different asset classes in a low-return environment

      So far, DC plans have largely been focused on the onset of auto-enrolment and changes to the regulatory framework - be it the ‘charge cap,' ‘pension freedoms' or consultations around ‘value for money', says Annabel Tonry, Executive Director at J.P. Morgan Asset Management (JPMAM).

      Pension freedoms three years on

      In 2015 George Osborne, then the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, decided that those age over 55 could take much more of their pension in cash. This has since opened up a range of possibilities for DC scheme members in the world of pensions.

Rathbone to provide funds with SRI advice

UK - Rathbone Greenbank Investments has launched a socially responsible investment advisory service for pension schemes.


The firm will provide training and advice to funds on how to integrate social and environmental issues into their investment strategies, the use of benchmarks and risk criteria.

It will also provide information on fund manager selection and evaluation, governance issues and analysis of socially responsible investment performance.

Schemes have been required to provide details of how social, environmental and ethical considerations are taken into account in their investment decision-making processes since 2000.

The firm estimates that approximately £90bn worth of pension fund money is invested in SRI products.

Rathbone Greenbank SRI strategy director Mark Mansley said more and more schemes were beginning to realise the need to adopt socially responsible investment policies.

“We are currently working with a number of pension funds and charities concerned about meeting the ethical needs of their stakeholders.

“As the Rathbone Greenbank team has been at the forefront of SRI since 1992, we have some of the most experienced people and refined research tools in the business, and can provide the kind of independent, expert ethical investment advice that these organisations do not have access to in-house,” Mansley said.

The new service has been established to complement Rathbone Greenbank’s existing investment management services for schemes, private clients and charities interested in integrating social and environmental issues into their investment strategy.
