About

To date it has seemed that those schemes that can afford it have been heading for the same exit, an insured solution for their scheme. Current regulatory guidance also suggests schemes should aim to de-risk as soon as possible. However, the Mansion House Reforms seem to have widened the scope for schemes and changes are expected to the Funding Code to enable schemes to continue to invest productively.

The difficult question for trustees is what is in the best interest of their members? A scheme may be well funded now but that can change, and sponsoring employers can disappear overnight, something of greater risk in current tighter monetary conditions.

We think this is the perfect topic for a PensionChair debate and who better to talk through all sides of the argument with than Sammy Cooper-Smith from Rothesay and Steve Webb from LCP.
