DC

Achieving better member outcomes is the top priority for defined contribution (DC) schemes according to Aon's DC Survey.

The UK Power Networks Pension Scheme has appointed SEI to act as fiduciary manager for its defined benefit (DB) section and investment adviser on its defined contribution arrangements.

The Pension Quality Mark (PQM) has made Nigel Stanley and Georgina Stewart non-executive directors to the PQM board.

Louise Farrand has been hired to replace Nils Johnson as executive director at the Defined Contribution Investment Forum (DCIF)

The Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) has made Tim Gosling policy lead for defined contribution (DC) and Luke Hildyard policy lead for stewardship and corporate governance.

The industry believes The Pensions Regulator (TPR) must give trustees more guidance on reporting on value for money, PP research finds.

The Society of Pensions Professionals (SPP) has published two standardised reporting statements to help trustees and independent governance committees (IGCs) comply with recently-introduced governance requirements.

RPMI has achieved the PQM Plus standard for its employee scheme in recognition of the governance standards, communications and contributions.

Hybrid schemes lead to much better governance and investment outcomes than pure defined contribution (DC) or defined benefit (DB), according to a report by the 300 Club.

There is considerable uncertainty over how the new DC governance rules fit in with the existing framework, finds Stephanie Baxter
