Auto-enrolment

The government has set out a range of proposals to limit charges in schemes used for auto-enrolment (AE) to either 0.75% or 1%.

Some 50% of people surveyed by asset manager BlackRock say they are unwilling to take any risks with their money, leading to high allocations in cash.

Barnett Waddingham and Standard Life have launched an auto-enrolment (AE) service for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME).

This week respondents demonstrate they are less than impressed with the idea that scale is the answer to all schemes' problems.

More than three quarters of Buzz respondents fear that auto-enrolling people into schemes with an 8% contribution rate will give them a false sense of security.

Pensions minister Steve Webb has said the ban on individual transfers into the National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) will be lifted before 2017.

The National Association of Pension Funds' (NAPF) call to increase auto-enrolment (AE) contributions is "deeply misguided", the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) says.

Research by the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) shows that while employers welcome auto-enrolment (AE) complex regulations prohibit them providing more than the minimum requirement.

The next government must "brave up" and start raising AE rates towards 12% to 15% to manage expectations of savers, Joanne Segars has said.
