The 2026 Pension Schemes Act, accelerating scheme consolidation, and rising governance costs are forcing trustees to rethink how investment decisions are made, new research conducted by Professional Pensions has revealed.
Professional Pensions, in partnership with Charles Stanley, surveyed more than 100 pension professionals to understand why many schemes remain constrained by governance structures that struggle to keep pace with today's endgame landscape. The survey also explored how schemes are responding to such ongoing challenges and why progress towards more effective governance remains difficult.
The Cost of Comfort: Rethinking Investment Governance in a New Era of Endgame report explores:
- Why smaller schemes face a disproportionate governance burden and the barriers preventing meaningful change
- How evolving endgame options are increasing the importance of timely, well-governed investment decisions
- The role fiduciary management can play in helping schemes improve governance, accelerate decision-making, and achieve better outcomes
