The Pensions Regulator : Six principles for good workplace DC

6 December 2011
The Pensions Regulator has today released its six principles for the design and governance of workplace defined contribution pension schemes in a presentation to the NAPF Trustee Conference.

In brief, the six principles are as follows:

  • Schemes are designed to be durable, fair and deliver good outcomes for members
  • A comprehensive scheme governance framework is established at set-up, with clear accountabilities and responsibilities agreed and made transparent.
  • Those who are accountable for scheme decisions and activity understand their duties and are fit and proper to carry them out.
  • Schemes benefit from effective governance and monitoring through their full lifecycle.
  • Schemes are well-administered with timely, accurate and comprehensive processes and records.
  • Communication to members is designed and delivered to ensure members are able to make informed decisions about their retirement savings.
