Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association

The Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) will introduce a Retirement Quality Mark (RQM) later this year, it has announced.

The Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) has called for the Pensions Regulator (TPR) to "take a proportionate and flexible approach" to defined benefit (DB) scheme funding.

The industry has come up with various ways to solve the numerous challenges faced by DB schemes. Kristian Brunt-Seymour examines responses to the DB Taskforce's call for evidence.

Concerns have been raised about making members more aware of risks to their defined benefit (DB) pensions, for fear of leading to panic and knee-jerk reactions.

The de-risking phenomenon is drying up long-term investment in younger generations as companies are forced to put more into defined benefit (DB) schemes, according to Ashok Gupta.

Young workers' pension funds are being sacrificed so private companies can afford to pay "over-generous" pensions for older members, according to the Intergenerational Foundation (IF).

The Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association's DB taskforce is exploring whether members should be better informed about the risks to their benefits. Kristian Brunt-Seymour looks at how this could work

Guidance has been published by the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) for employers participating in the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS).

Pension schemes have been urged not to rely too much on models when assessing the probability of extreme events affecting portfolios.

Improving market effectiveness and competition could net investors an extra £37.5bn in returns over 30 years according to Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) interim chief executive Tracey McDermott.
