The Pensions Regulator

DC schemes

The Pensions Regulator's aim is to protect members' benefits in DC schemes and to promote and improve understanding of good administration.

We're working on guidance materials to help trustees, employers and also their advisers and others with responsibility for running DC schemes.

We'll update these pages periodically with new information and guidance on work-based DC schemes.

You may also find our DC update of interest. And employers may find our guidance on voluntary employer engagement useful.
