Pensions Regulator publishes blog on increase of investment decision-making skills for trustees for better member outcomes
United Kingdom | Publication | December 2022
On December 9, 2022, the Regulator published a blog suggesting that trustees should take advantage of the support and guidance available to increase their investment decision-making skills and take action to enable pension savers to access the investment opportunities that best support good outcomes.
