The new DB Funding Code

This video was recorded on 13 December 2022. 

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) is publishing its second consultation on a revised DB Funding Code of Practice.

On 13 December 2022, David Fairs, Executive Director for Regulatory Policy, Analysis and Advice at TPR, joined Barnett Waddingham's Paul Houghton to discuss the wide-ranging implications for pension scheme funding and investment.

About the webinar

Relevant to all DB pension scheme stakeholders, this webinar – now available to watch on-demand – covers the following key topics:

• How TPR’s regulatory approach has evolved over the past two years or so, including in response to both the Covid-19 pandemic and recent market volatility.
• What the draft Code is likely to say and how schemes will be able to demonstrate compliance with the new principles and legislation.
• A look at what this could mean in practice, including the possible impact on sponsor contributions and schemes’ investment strategies.
• The approach to regulating open schemes, who will have a moving long-term target date under the proposed legislation.
