It’s back from work and feet under the table and we’re having the first Coffee Morning since Maggie Rodgers and the AMNT at the end of July.
The great news is that the two LCP partners, Steven Taylor and Helen Draper will be talking with us and answering some of the questions that have been “sent in” below. I expect there will be many more from the coffee drinkers who assemble to participate (don’t worry you don’t need to if you don’t want to)!
CDC is undoubtedly the most interesting development in the workplace and the concept of Collective Pensions the natural progression from the DC master trusts we have today.
We’ve been asked a lot of questions by Pension Playgoers over the past few weeks and we’ve gathered these all together to ask Helen and Steve, who’ll be answering some this morning. As important is your questions!
We will not be constrained – we will venture into all aspects of this amazing topic.
- Is CDC a good name or should we move to Collective Pensions?
- Is Retirement CDC worth waiting till 2029 for?
- So far it’s WTW who say they’ll do it – do we think there’ll be more?
- Is there sufficient demand for a market or is their too much demand for supply?
- What is “scale” for a CDC scheme to be profitable and VFM to members?
- Could CDC be better done by the state?
- Should CDC pay a spouse a pension?
- Should every CDC member buy a spouse’s pension whether they have one or not?
- Should employers have their staff’s transferred from DC to CDC without consent?
- Should there be member reps as trustees? Or should trustees be professional?
And for all the talk, who’s walking the Collective Pension walk?
TPT has put its name up and so has Pensions Mutual, a mysterious third CDC know variously as Arboreum and Collective Pension is lurking
Isio have made mutterings about getting authorised as a Proprietor and Aon are promising to get launch a workplace plan some time in 2028.
We hope we have the Church of England joining the multi-employer CDC schemes that have been open to authorisation just over a month now.
I’ll ask a few questions to kick things off and I’m sure they will have some things to say, but this is a Pension PlayPen coffee morning to share experience and discuss the future.
