Will DC savers ever get pensions?
I am going to an event this afternoon organised by the Royal Society of the Arts (RSA) and hosted by a famous city law firm. Our agenda is how we move risk sharing on from the one (almost) achieved example, … Continue reading
Why the new CDC consultation is a non-starter
The problem for the CDC consultation is clear before we open its foreword. We hear who the consultation is designed for pension scheme trustees and managers, particularly those from DC Master Trust schemes pension scheme service providers, other industry bodies and … Continue reading
Fairer pensions? We must address both DB and DC as one.
I hope that the DWP and its new Minister for Pensions will focus on increasing fairness between those who have a DB and those who have a DC promise when it sets out its new package of DC reforms … Continue reading
A pension doesn’t have to be guaranteed – say the OECD – here’s how!
This blog looks at the various options available to the British pension system as alternatives to the current investment pathways, retirement “savers” have when looking at ways to access their pension pot. The options are laid out in this document … Continue reading

Should there be an initial conversion rate to turn pot to pension?
According to the FCA’s Retirement Income Study, the average drawdown rate used by non-advised savers is 8% pa. This is almost certainty driven by need rather than sustainability and the great thing about drawdown is it meets people’s needs. The … Continue reading
