DB Risk Monitor

 

 

Many of our clients are now looking for regular updates on the solvency and accounting position of their pension plans. Recent market turmoil has shown us that the funding position of a defined benefit pension plan can change materially in a short space of time. With a growing awareness amongst Trustees and Finance Directors of the need to reduce pension risk in a measured way, there is now a greater need than ever for timely information.

   

In response to our clients’ needs, we have produced a simplified scheme specific Pension Risk Monitor which can be issued on either a monthly or quarterly basis. The monitor is designed to provide you with an overview of the impact of changing market conditions on the funding position of the plan. It also highlights developments in investment markets and other key economic indicators.

Is your pension scheme administration process compliant? Could you be fined?

Pension scheme trustees are faced with a large number of legal obligations and responsibilities. Trustees must have in place a governance framework through which they can be confident that their obligations are being fulfilled.
    

Every scheme will have an appointed Administrator, to whom administrative functions are delegated though responsibility remains with the Trustees. Failure to monitor the administration services can have serious consequences, including fines and/or prosecution, not to mention reputation damage. Good governance and controls can avoid costly mistakes. Trustees need to be confident that their appointed administrator is fulfulling the compliance requirements in an effective manner.
