The challenges from uncertainty and risk, and the role of insurance
Pension Trustee Liability insurance (PTL) was, for many years, regarded as a dull but necessary part of running a scheme. But seemingly overnight, this has changed dramatically. Trustees and their advisors now recognise the vital role that PTL can play in managing risks in today’s fast-moving pensions environment, as trustees manage compliance and residual risks when schemes move into winding-up.
Why have a pension scheme diversity & inclusion policy?
In an ideal world, all of our differences would be equally celebrated and we would not need specific laws to protect an identified group, or awards based on sex, age or colour. Before we get to this utopian ideal, how can having a Diversity & Inclusion policy for your pension scheme help improve fairness.
‘Work isn’t work if it’s fun’ is an adage that has led me to make what many consider to be some terrible decisions in my career and academic life. It started in 1989 when after studying marine and environmental biology, I went on to do a PhD on the impact of climate change related extreme weather events on the reef ecology of the Indian Ocean. During the next four years, I was attacked by sharks, caught by a waterspout and suffered dengue fever. But throughout, I did have a real sense of purpose, and studying reefs had some fringe benefits too!
Here David Fairs gives an update on recent activity from The Pensions Regulator (TPR) and highlights how TPR has responded clearly, quickly and decisively to change so that workplace pensions work for all savers
Pensions policy: bringing tomorrow’s challenges to today’s debate
Encouraging people to take a long-term view on pensions planning can be challenging. Labour’s Shadow Work and Pensions Team discuss how a positive impact could be achieved for all generations saving for their retirement by accelerating policy initiatives in progress.
