Delivering better member outcomes

12 Dec 2024

Musings

Ian McQuade covers some of the developments we’ve seen this year in pensions – and there have been many. One notable achievement was the launch of the Royal Mail Collective Pension Plan, which bridges the gap between DB and DC. The governance regime remains another important topic of discussion, where trustee boards provide important checks and balances. Is this being eroded by the corporate sole trustee?
