Hundreds of pensioners are expected to meet their MPs in a mass lobby organised by AgeUK to protest about the accelerated equalisation of the state pension age.

The coalition has made positive changes on pensions but has so far failed to enact measures to reinvigorate workplace schemes, a PP panel of experts says.

De-risking solutions for smaller schemes should be targeted at individual members and be proportionate to the size of the scheme to limit sponsor costs, delegates heard.

The average FRS17 funding level of university pension schemes improved three percentage points last year due to recovering equity markets, Barnett Waddingham research shows.

Massive exit fees and data transfer restrictions are making it difficult for schemes to switch administration provider, industry figures say.

There is "no overriding reason" why a merger of National Insurance and income tax should not go ahead, a consultant says.

The National Insurance Scheme for the Pensions Industry needs greater resources to deal with its workload, Barnett Waddingham associate Robert Wakefield says.

Aries Pension has launched a Retail Prices Index revaluation table to help defined benefit pension schemes who have to keep using the same RPI measure of inflation to revalue benefits.

The industry has largely welcomed The Pensions Regulator's discussion paper on delivering good outcomes for defined contribution savers, but stressed that good governance must be a main focus rather than just a consideration.

Thousands of scheme members with small personal pension pots are being "trapped" by poor annuity rates or lack of access to the market, Malcolm McLean says.
