AMNT welcomes this consultation, which reflects many of the themes set out in its February 2023 report to the regulator, “AMNT proposals on the future of professional trusteeship”
AMNT welcomes this consultation as it believes that the creation of the r-CDC pension scheme is highly important to millions of pensioners in the UK. However, because r-CDCs are new, confidence in the early stages would be strengthened if they were introduced as part of a guided retirement process or through agreements with existing scheme trustees. Additional reassurance for members could be provided by involving them directly in the governance arrangements of r-CDCs, particularly as employers will no longer have an ongoing stake.
"The Association of Member Nominated Trustees (AMNT) supports TPR’s ambition to act earlier, intervene proportionately and base enforcement on the risk and harm to scheme members. However, we have several key concerns and provided recommendations to ensure the strategy is effective, balanced and fair across all scheme types" said AMNT committee member Lewis Brown.
What if insurers could do more to speed up the path to buy-out? That was the focus of Just’s recent webinar, Reimagining the data journey: an insurer-led approach, where we explored how new models for data cleanse and GMP equalisation (GMPe) could unlock faster, more certain outcomes for trustees and sponsors.

Outlining what regulators are doing to help trustees, employers and sponsors deliver better outcomes for their pension scheme members, while also covering where schemes are falling short of standards, the overarching message to trustees is clear - readiness matters.

With many more schemes being in a position to look at buying out their pension scheme liabilities, trustees are now starting to think past the transaction date. How can they ensure that the correct members have the correct benefits? How can they effectively wind-up their scheme to make sure that they and their sponsoring employer have securely offloaded their future risk?

Outlook for 2024 – the year has got off to a less frenetic start than in 2023, but insurers are reporting record pipelines, with 20 or m£1bn+ transactions in the market or expected to be shortly. Total activity will depend on how many of these proceed this year – particularly the larger £5bn+ transactions – in the light of an expanding range of endgame options, run-on strategies and greater emphasis on preparation.
