The UK's pensions industry can expect to see “significant growth” in demand for professional corporate sole trustee (PCST) appointments this year, new research suggests.

This year is set to be the biggest on record for pension scheme de-risking in the UK, with £65bn of bulk annuity and longevity swap transactions forecast.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has today launched a consultation on a new code of practice for the authorisation and supervision of collective defined contribution (CDC) pension schemes in the UK.

A third of UK pension schemes have set, or are in the process of setting, targets to reduce their exposure to climate-related risks, but a similar proportion do not plan on doing so themselves.

There has been a 90% increase in the number of UK pension schemes with over £1bn in assets since 2013, research by Barnett Waddingham has uncovered.
