The Pensions Regulator - Industry Liaison special update April 2016

• Would you like to attend a business adviser event in Cambridge?

We are speaking at an event for business advisers in Cambridge on the morning of Tuesday 10 May. The session is free to attend and you’ll learn about the tasks employers need to complete to meet their legal duties. Our panel of automatic enrolment experts will take you through the basics, as well as some of the areas business advisers have told us they find more challenging. There will also be plenty of opportunity to ask us questions.

• TPR to list GPPs open to all employers

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) is to publish a list of group personal pensions (GPPs) open to any employers seeking to comply with their automatic enrolment duties. TPR believes well-run multi-employer master trusts and GPPs are the best choice for small and micro employers preparing to meet their workplace pension duties. A list of independently reviewed master trusts which are open to all employers is already available on the employers’ section of TPR’s website. Now GPP providers which meet similar criteria are being encouraged to apply to appear on a new list on the website, increasing the choice of well-run schemes available.

The criteria for joining the GPP list have been published at: www.tpr.gov.uk/foi/how-to-join-or-leave-the-group-personal-pension-list.aspx
