Pensions - Articles - CBI comments on automatic transfer system for small pots


 The CBI today commented on the publication of the DWP's proposals for an automatic transfer system for small pension pots.

 Neil Carberry, CBI Director of Employment and Skills, said:

 "The consolidation of small pots into larger ones is a desirable goal, but as ever the devil lies in the detail.

 "Businesses would have preferred a virtual aggregator to an automatic transfer system. This would have been easier to implement and, crucially, avoided the risk of member detriment.

 "The Government's choice to opt for automatic transfers suggests a move away from guaranteed savings. These schemes need long-term membership in order to be viable.

 "In implementing the reforms, the Government must now take care that it doesn't discourage pension saving. The impact of the planned abolition of short service refunds on saving in trust-based schemes remains a concern here."
