Analysis

George Emmerson, trustee of the Standard Life Staff Pension Fund explains how trustees can get the most out of their advisers.

Target date funds (TDF) are the most popular option among Buzz respondents for making defined contribution (DC) saving more predictable.

The majority of respondents said trustee boards should do more to review the performance of trustees, although many acknowledged this was a difficult task.

The majority of Buzz contributors believe an annual management charge (AMCs) is generally the most appropriate charging structure for workplace defined contribution (DC).

The industry is less convinced that DA will be taken up by smaller companies, with almost half this week's respondents saying no option under consideration would appeal to this sector.

Many Buzz respondents believe large employers will be interested in the Department for Work and Pensions' (DWP) defined ambition (DA) proposals.
