Pensions Solutions for Policy Makers
Pensions are a retirement fund for an employee paid into by the employer, employee, or both, with the employer usually covering the largest percentage of contributions. When the employee retires, she’s paid in an annuity calculated by the terms of the pension.
The pensions industry has seen significant change over the last 25 years, with further material challenges, both short-term and long-term, already on the horizon including the revival of the Pension Schemes Bill and its many implications.
To meet these issues head on, Eversheds Sutherland has today, in conjunction with research company, Winmark, launched a new report: The Future of Pensions.
Eversheds Sutherland is a global multinational law practice created by a combination of law firms Eversheds LLP and Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP, in February 2017, and is one of the 50 largest law practices in the world.
The report acts as a roadmap for pension policy makers and society as a whole. It tackles the unique challenges currently facing future generations and provides innovative ideas to the ultimate pensions questions: How do we get people to save enough for an affordable retirement, and how can we provide better financial options for retirement?
The report includes an “innovation checklist” of ideas to ensure a better retirement for all, suggested by the senior pensions industry professionals who took part in the research exercise, and on which over 350 participants were then surveyed.
