About

 

Please join us for our future of defined benefit (DB) funding webinar on 13 August from 2 – 3.30pm.

You’ll hear from our experts on the proposals for a clearer DB funding framework and get the opportunity to ask questions.

The webinar will include information on the following:

  • The twin track approach for trustees: Fast track or Bespoke and the underlying principles.
  • How we could develop Fast track guidelines
  • How the Bespoke framework could work in practice
  • Then you’ll have a chance to ask questions on these areas.

 

The consultation

This is the first of two consultations of the future of DB funding.

Your response to these consultations will inform the development of clearer standards through a revised DB funding code that will provide trustees, employers and advisers with support and tools to manage the funding of their scheme.

We need your input on our proposal for a clearer DB funding framework as it will determine how you approach scheme funding in the years to come.

The consultation closes on 2 September. You can find everything you need to read and respond to the consultation on our website, including a quick guide.
