DC

Natasha Browne examines the Pensions Institute’s report on member value for money

Network Rail has hired Capita Employee Benefits to administer two of its three pension schemes, both of which were previously administered by RPMI.

Members of trust-based defined contribution (DC) schemes expect trustees or employers to tell them when they should increase contributions, according to research from Barclays Corporate & Employer Solutions.

Goddard Perry's Spinnaker master trust has taken on the defined contribution (DC) sections of five schemes that have transferred to the Pension Protection Fund (PPF).

The majority of employers are in favour of using auto-escalation schemes to increase contribution rates in defined contribution (DC) schemes, according to research from the Association of Consulting Actuaries (ACA).

Six to 10 fund choices is the optimum number for defined contribution savers, according to PP research.

The industry is divided over whether there should be a cap on how much money defined contribution savers should be able to take as a tax-free lump sum, PP research finds.
