tPR's 2013 funding statement: a sea-change?

Topic:

Funding & investment

Date published:

Friday, 31 May 2013

On 8 May 2013, the Pensions Regulator (tPR) published its second annual funding statement. It is aimed mainly at trustees and employers of pension schemes carrying out actuarial valuations with effective dates between 22 September 2012 and 21 September 2013.

Some of last year’s key messages on setting assumptions and agreeing recovery plans have been either significantly watered down or removed altogether, whilst there is an increased focus on encouraging trustees to take an integrated approach to managing risks.
