Just to be helpful, ThePensionsRegulator provides some excellent guidance to help employers comply with their auto-enrolment pension scheme duties. x.com/AShieldsLawyer…

Interesting times ahead!

Just when you though the prospect of a long Bank Holiday weekend couldn't get any better, now you can enjoy reading the DWP's long awaited guidance on GMP conversion. Put down the chocolates and pick up a copy! bit.ly/2V2I8Ju #DWP #EasterWeekend

Caution must be the watchword here. The economy needs an investment boost, but the cap on investment charges has worked well to protect many pension savers on low incomes. References to "unlocking" pension schemes' assets always make me worry. shorturl.at/hkmEU

Some positive news about Nortel bit.ly/2J36r0X It's been a long time coming.

Things going from bad to worse for Stotts Tours (Oldham) bit.ly/2HNy28v . Hopefully a salutary lesson for any company considering trying to dodge its auto-enrolment obligations.

JLT's monthly index bit.ly/2rcl0Ip shows scheme deficits at FTSE 100 companies down from £40bn in 2017 to £15bn now. Good news, but still a shame when you remember that three months ago JLT also showed that only 19 of those FTSE 100 companies still offered DB schemes.
