Pensions Buzz

The vast majority of Buzz respondents are pretty relaxed about trustees agreeing to asset-backed contribution structures (ABCs).

The majority of respondents rejected the idea of large employers splitting staff bonuses between cash and pension contributions.

This week we want to know if the government is right to delay plans to cap DC charges and whether income drawdown should replace annuities as the default retirement option.

This week, Buzz respondents ranked poor contributions the biggest risk to under-25 savers.

Opinion was divided over this question too, but more respondents were in favour of the triple lock than were against it.

The majority of Buzz respondents do not want The Pensions Regulator (TPR) to be given the power to close under-funded schemes to future accrual.

The Buzz community was split right down the middle on the question of switchable annuities.

Buzz respondents expect equity investments to continue to perform well for schemes in 2014.

Insufficient contribution rates pose the greatest risk to young defined contribution (DC) members, according to Buzz respondents.

This week we want to know if you think, given the regulator's warning, schemes making asset-backed contributions are being irresponsible.
