Pensions - Articles - Hymans Robertson comment on TPR funding code consultation


Laura McLaren, Partner at Hymans Robertson commented on today’s confirmation that TPR will be consulting on the new funding code in March:

 “It’s fantastic to finally have a date in the diary for a consultation on the funding code. The industry has been watching closely for some time for more detail on the exact form the new framework will take to emerge. With key objectives and principles flowing from 2018’s DB White Paper, we already know to expect a stronger, more directive funding code introducing "fast track" or "bespoke" approaches to compliance. However, a critical element will be where the bar for the “fast track” route is set and we can expect this to be a key focus of the upcoming consultation.

 Whilst many schemes may find that their current funding and investment plans map over quite neatly, all trustees and employers are, to some extent, going to have to work harder to demonstrate that a clear, long term funding plan is in place and the risks they are running can be supported by the sponsoring business. We would encourage trustees and sponsors to start preparing now.”
