Securing the future of pensions

Our objectives:

To influence the direction of retirement provision...

We seek to influence the outcome of, and pro-actively shape, UK pension policy to achieve a viable and sustainable workplace pensions sector. This means for a fair and affordable pensions system and an environment that encourages good workplace pensions.

...and to place members at the heart of everything we do

We exist to serve our members’ needs, providing valued services and policy solutions that help raise standards and improve understanding.

Our members:

Our member profile is a key strength. We represent all types of pension scheme including defined benefit, defined contribution, group personal pensions and statutory schemes such as those in Local Government. Between them, our members:

  • Provide retirement income to nearly 15 million people
  • Operate almost 1,200 separate pension schemes
  • Have combined assets of nearly £800bn

Our membership also includes a wide range of over 400 providers of essential advice and services to the pensions sector. This includes accounting firms, solicitors, fund managers, consultants and actuaries.

Additional services:  

In addition to our policy work we are also the leading provider of conferences, seminars, training, publications, education and information on pensions and retirement issues.

For Finance Directors:

If you’re an FD you’ll know that dealing with workplace pensions has never been harder. Rising deficits…regulatory overload...increasing liabilities…volatility…conflicts of interest…cost
uncertainties…trapped surpluses…increasing levies…buyouts…funding the pensions promise...

That’s why we provide a dedicated pensions community for Finance Directors. With a website, forums, news alerts and speaker meetings, FD PensionsConnection is free to join and is designed to help you meet the growing challenges of workplace pension provision.
