Mansion House DC pension reforms - will they make a difference?
4 October 2023
There has been much discussion around structural reforms to UK pensions, of which the Chancellor’s Mansion House speech in June was the latest in a long line of announcements stretching back over many years.
Stating that pension schemes could (and should) invest more in UK high-growth companies, the Chancellor highlighted Defined Contribution schemes’ opportunity to allocate to UK equities. The hope is that this will help to provide the returns their pension fund holders expect or need.
In this interview, Graham Hook asks what the recent announcements might mean for Defined Contribution schemes, and whether they will make a difference?
Answering the questions and providing valuable insights is Andrew Warwick-Thompson, independent chair, professional trustee, former regulator and all-round pensions expert.
