Regulatory investigations and enforcement: Key developments
The past six months have seen a number of key changes in the regulatory investigations and enforcement space.
Fraud Compensation Fund pays over £80 million scams compensation to pension schemes following joint-agency initiative
United Kingdom | Publication | September 2025
The Pensions Regulator has issued a press release which is centred on the fact that the Fraud Compensation Fund has now paid out £81.5 million in compensation to 58 pension schemes in respect of more than 2,000 victims of pension scams. The FCF has also issued a rather shorter press release.
The joint-agency initiative follows the High Court ruling in Board of the Pension Protection Fund v Dalriada Trustees Ltd [2020]. The case examined issues surrounding the operation of the FCF regarding compensation claims by occupational pension schemes which had been used as vehicles for pension scams.
The FCF website contains a list of schemes currently being considered for compensation.
