James Phillips speaks to Aegon Master Trust trustees Ian Pittaway and Helen Parker about their focuses for the coming year.

The Pension Regulator’s (TPR) strengthened powers under the Pension Schemes Bill could lead to a revival of its clearance process, according to advisers and lawyers.

The Aegon Master Trust will move from an affiliate board structure to fully independent, recruiting a further trustee as part of the process.

As part of a series celebrating PP’s silver anniversary, Hope William-Smith asks industry veterans about policy over the past 25 years and what needs to change for the future.

Aegon’s independent governance committee (IGC) has unveiled its latest annual report – highlighting general good value for money but some concerns over investment and communications.
