If the pensions cap doesn’t fit, remove it
Mark Cobley – Financial News
When it comes to telling consumers what their savings will be worth in retirement, does the pensions industry assume too much? Well, in future they may be able to assume what they like, so long as it’s “justifiable”. The Financial Reporting Council, which has a hand in regulating such matters, has suggested abolishing the current “cap” on what pension companies can assume their rate-of-return on investments will be. Currently this is 7%.
