CDC; a workplace pension or just another way to “decumulate”? 

This is your INVITATION to a Pension PlayPen Coffee Morning

–  CPD is included

It’s Online – it’s on Teams and it’s on Tuesday 28th April 2026 at 10.30 am

 

What do the boys believe?

Henry Tapper and Chris Bunford established the Pensions Mutual to offer a workplace pension for employers who want to offer CDC pensions to their staff.

They aren’t interested in arguing about Retirement CDC,  annuities , flex and fix or drawdown. To the boys, these are just variations on the mess we are leaving people who’ve been in workplace savings plans.

Henry and Chris think that CDC is superior to saving into DC pots.  They reckon that building a pension is better than filling a pot.

The employers and unions they talk to agree;   if you have conviction that CDC is a better way to pay people pensions, you should switch to it as soon as it’s available

The boys hope that that will be early next year.


What’s this session going to discuss?

The session will focus on the differences between a multi-employer workplace CDC pension and a retirement CDC

It will look at who’s involved in this discussion . And it explains  the advantages of each version of CDC to different parts of the pension market. More importantly , Henry and Chris will look at how ordinary people will benefit from each variant and what (if any) are the advantages of CDC over a workplace DC savings plan and drawdown or a retirement pot!

As TPR moves toward publishing its CDC code, potential proprietors of workplace CDC schemes see a clear market division. There are employers who want to upgrade their workplace pension now.  There are others preferring  to wait and see the additional choice available from a DC plan from the end of the decade.
