They cover:

  • the commitment made by 17 of the UK's largest pension funds to invest 10% of their defined contribution default funds in private markets by 2030, with half being invested in the UK, and reactions from the pensions and investment sectors;
  • key regulatory, operational and cultural barriers, including the charge cap and permitted links; and
  • key measures introduced in the new Pension Schemes Bill and the Government's ongoing drive to consolidate the defined contribution pension market.

They highlight that private capital managers should be closely monitoring these developments as they open up new sources of capital, although greater understanding between the pensions industry and private capital industry will be required to facilitate change.
