TPR publishes scheme funding analysis
The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has published its latest analysis of scheme funding issues, based on Tranche 13 schemes (effective valuation dates between 22 September 2017 and 21 September 2018). It notes that 37% of Tranche 13 schemes reported a surplus on the technical provisions basis. The average recovery plan length was approximately 6 years; three-quarters of schemes in covenant group 1 (strong) have recovery plans of up to around 6.7 years; the same proportion of schemes in covenant group 4 (weak) have recovery plans of up to around 12.2 years.
