A DB funding code – but not as we knew it
Professional Pensions has secured a scoop from TPR policy head, David Fairs admission that the DB funding code he launched in 2019 is practically dead in the water. Not being at the event, I am going on PP’s report … Continue reading
Fair’s fair, will employers share their good news on DB with staff?
There’s more to this question than meets the eye. DB in run-off is likely to become less expensive to sponsors as inflation and interest rates increase. This should feed through to lower funding which might feed through into more equitable … Continue reading

TPR- the price of pensions can fall as well as rise.
