Welcome to our Spring 2013 pensions e-zine.
In this issue, we discuss a number of significant developments in pensions over the past 6 months or so, including:
- The pension provisions of Budget 2013
- The knock-on effects of the increase in the State pension age
- Whether sovereign annuities are a suitable option for direct benefit schemes
- The new funding risk reserve requirement for direct benefit schemes
- The Element Six case pending before the High Court, involving a claim of some €40-€50 million against scheme trustees, and
- Other important pension decisions from the courts, both here, the UK and Europe
Please feel free to forward this e-zine to any colleagues or contacts who might also be interested in pensions.
I am also pleased to announce that Liam Connellan joined the Pensions Group as a partner last October.
If you require any further information on pensions, please contact me or Liam or any member of the Pensions Group.
Partner, Head of Pensions Group
