Pension Schemes Bill

Contribution

Now to the question of scale, the Bill assumes that if schemes offer a strong proposition and good member outcomes, there is nothing to stop them growing. We disagree; it is not that simple. For instance, it is exceptionally difficult to win new business in today’s market without already being an incumbent or large insurer. Market structure, capital requirements and regulatory constraints all act as significant barriers to growth.
