It was great to see our very own Tom Neale as a panellist at the Clarity on Pensions event this week. There was lots of interesting discussion around how the new government will impact upon the pensions landscape. Tom’s key takeaways were: 1) Government interest in pensions is high, but there is significant uncertainty over the role pensions will play in the upcoming budget. 2) Buyout should not be the default “endgame” for defined benefit schemes – other options including run-on may be better and should be considered. 3) Running schemes efficiently can help achieve any endgame target. Operational consolidators, such as Enplan, can reduce running costs and increase the strategic endgame options for small and medium sized schemes.
Yesterday we gathered for the Clarity on Pensions event hosted at Schroders to dive into the implications and opportunities of a new government on the Pensions landscape. Speakers offered a lens onto what can be expected for DB and DC schemes, covering a range of topics from policy trends, governance, operational consolidation and Purposeful Run-On. A huge thank you to our speakers: Richard Fox Tom Neale Emily McGuire Matt Brown Ed Wilson If you would like to speak to us about any of the topics covered, please reach out to Ed Wilson #DefinedBenefit #DefinedContribution #Pensions #PensionPolicy
