“What’s on our mind” Our wish-list for the Queen.

Just back from Windsor Castle to drop in a note from those at the Pension PlayPen lunch on Monday

In case you’re interested, and I am, here’s what our diners delivered when asked

“What do you want in the Queen’s Speech on Wednesday”

 

Tudor Griffiths– IFA   – measures to make pensions more accessible to smaller employers

Tony Filbin – independent consultant and member of L&G IGC – a workable proposal for “pot-follow-member

David Martin -United Reform Pension schemes and non-exec at tPR – Clarity on Advice and Guidance

Peter Weiner– Trustee of Pensions Trust- Flesh on the Bones for the Guidance Guarantee- who will pay for it and who will deliver it?

Andy Seed– JP Morgan- Clarity on how IGCs can adjust retrospectively DC defaults (without member consent)

Hannah Clarke – wants a moratorium on pensions reform following the implementation of the Pension Bill(s) in the Queens Speech

David Taylor (pensions management consultant) – adjustment to the tax-priviledged status of high earning pension contributors

Kim Goodall– Aberdeen- clarity on the price points for the Guidance Guarantee

Ralph Franks – consultant- clarity on pricing issues within workplace pensions (especially transaction costs and other hidden costs)

Carol Costello (Vanguard) more targeted communication to women (especially around state pension entitlements)

Philip Perrson– Finance Director and Pension consultant – easements to help promote collective DC

Henry Tapper– Pension PlayPen easements for the promotion of collective DC

Another hugely enjoyable lunch with a wide variety of views. For me the most interesting point was raised by Andy Seed. Unless contract based DC schemes are using TDFs, it is very difficult (currently) to transfer existing assets in a dc default into a new asset allocation strategy (though easy enough to replace a default for future contributions.

This problem is obviously most acute for those already on a glide path towards annuitisation for whom the allocations to gilts and bonds may (now) be inappropriate.

 

The next Pension Play Pen lunch will be on Monday July 7th – same time – same place

    Dear Henry

    I am, as ever, very grateful for this note. Can I please copy it (with full accreditation) onto the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development website and Branch network? These important questions may stir some further work/investigation by HR/Personnel Depts., who may not be fully appreciative or understanding of recent changes and developments. (Sadly, I may have to exclude the picture).

    PS: I have also asked the Secretary of IEBA (Double Century Club) to approach you about giving a talk to our London Group. I hope you don’t mind. He will explain all (I’m but a humble member!).

  15. Admiring the time and energy you put into your
    website and in depth information you present. It’s awesomne to
    come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same old rehashed material.
    Wonderful read! I’ve bookmarked your sige and I’m including your RSS feeds

  16. Paragraph writing is also a fun, if you know after that you can write if not it is complicated
    to write.

  17. Personal injury attorneys cover claims that have created injury to a
    profession out from helping clients create the
    rewards they deserve in the courtroom because of someone else’s negligence.
    At the same time, there are also insurance companies to contend
    with, many of which will fight and fight hard to ensure that they don’t have to pay
    at their client’s expense, whether said client is at fault or not.
    Our teams of experts go into the depth of the accidents that has happened and find
    out the real cause and even those who are responsible for the accident.

  18. There are so many grills to choose from, but of all the charcoal grills on the market I recommened the Weber Grill
    Silver. If the meat appears to be cooking too fast raise
    the grill, if too slow lower the grill. Slag formation is aided by the injection of magnesite and dolomite in the form of magnesium oxide and lime from calcium oxide.

  19. If you are looking to buy a desktop PC for your home it is likely you will want it to perform a variety of tasks
    from basic things like sending emails and word processing to more complex
    tasks like downloading music and streaming video from the internet.
    The last thing you would want is to have your viewing dominated
    by an overlay large screen. In some cases, surround sound is not possible in low frequency; however, it is
    not the case with Panasonic SC-PT480EB-K.

  20. You can trust their opinion over reviews found online.
    The busy work schedule of individuals, tight deadlines at work, stressful, competitive life style and the need to rush
    to the office or a meeting leads to negligent and rash driving which
    often results in fatal road accidents. However, contrary to popular belief,
    wills do not avoid probate.

    This film continues a trend in fashionable CSI-CIA-crime composing deficiencies
    in knowledge of the fundamental concepts of know-how and that i guess it should not hassle lots of individuals even so for
