Pension Clicks
In this edition of Pension Clicks, we share new data on pension schemes’ funding valuations, help you to explore whether a CDC pension scheme could meet your future pension needs, and examine why it is important to have a scheme diversity and inclusion policy.
In Depth: Pension scheme funding – an analysis of completed valuations
INTRODUCTION
This In Depth sets out the approaches to and results of UK pension schemes' funding valuations completed up to July 2021. It shows the positions of schemes at effective dates to June 2020, and considers the assumptions adopted for assessing schemes' liabilities, and formulating recovery plans where schemes were found to be under-funded.
