The Pensions Regulator’s new DB Funding Code - what does it mean for trustees and sponsors?

Trustees play a vital role in delivering high-quality defined benefit (DB), defined contribution (DC) and hybrid pension arrangements. WTW partners with trustees, cutting through complexity to provide clear thinking and solutions that help trustees deliver the best for members whose retirement savings they look after.

Good governance is the foundation of a well-run pension scheme and leads to better outcomes for members, trustees, and sponsors. WTW has been working in partnership with pension scheme trustees and sponsors for over 40 years, providing expert governance consulting and operational support.

Keeping up with everything that’s happening in pensions can seem overwhelming. We provide training courses to help trustees and those with pensions responsibilities navigate this in small groups, supported by our friendly professionals.

Climate change poses global, systemic risks that will affect every part of the economy. As key long-term investors and significant participants in the financial system, it is important that trustees and sponsors of pension schemes consider the implications of these risks for their pension arrangements and the part they can play in responding to the challenge.

At WTW, we can help you evaluate all of the options available to you in order to find the right way forward for your pension plan strategy and design. We can work with you at all stages of the process, from the due diligence and design phases right through to communication and implementation.

We partner with you to address your pensions and savings challenges together.
