Pensions Academy Online

Throughout the week of 10 May 2021 we hosted our Pensions Academy Online - an update on issues for pension schemes and the people that run them. Recordings of our sessions can be found below.

Governance - new Code, new practices

The Pensions Regulator is consulting on a 'single Code of Practice' which should eventually consolidate existing Codes and guidance. But the draft Code doesn't just consolidate - it adds or increases new regulatory expectations in some areas, and it deals with entirely new requirements including the formalisation of a risk management function for each pension scheme, and the requirement to perform regular 'own-risk assessments'. We'll guide you through the changes and help you prepare for the new requirements. 

Pension scheme investing - the sustainability revolution

Pension scheme investment decisions have been an area of increasing regulatory focus in recent years, but the TCFD-style reporting requirements that are due to affect some schemes from 1 October 2021 are probably the most significant change yet. Experts from our investment team will guide you through the changes they are seeing in this area of increasing public interest and political attention.

Legal update - what's now and what's next?

It's already been a busy year for consultations and new developments but there's much more to come as the government and regulators work through their 2020 backlog. Members of our pensions team will update you on the current state of play and what's on the horizon to shape your future agenda.
