David Brooks, Head of Policy at Broadstone, is joined by Kelly Parsons, Broadstone's Head of DC Proposition, to unpack three key developments shaping the pensions landscape. This week, they discuss: The Government's review of how finances are handled when relationships break down, including proposals to make pensions more prominent and potentially extend pension sharing orders to cohabiting couples New statistics on pension withdrawals since the introduction of pension freedoms, looking at the benefits of greater flexibility alongside concerns around retirement adequacy, taxation and whether people have the right information to make informed decisions The growing momentum behind Collective Defined Contribution (CDC) schemes, including the new regulations opening the door to multi-employer arrangements and what this could mean for the future of workplace pensions
