Commentary on Sections

Part 2 – Collective Benefits

Section 9: Duty to set targets for collective benefits

62.Section 9 provides that regulations may require that trustees or managers of pension schemes offering collective benefits set targets in relation to the rate or amount of those benefits. In particular, regulations can be made about, amongst other things, the way that targets are expressed, recorded and published. The intention is that members of a scheme with collective benefits should be provided with a reasonable estimate of the benefits that they can expect to receive from the scheme; in the absence of a well defined pot over which the individual has clear ownership, the target is a way of illustrating for the member what they might receive. Regulations may also require trustees or managers to set initial targets at such a level that the probability of meeting the target will fall within a range specified in regulations and for this to be certified by an actuary. The setting of targets is to ensure that schemes providing collective benefits operate in a transparent manner and provide some assurance to members in relation to those benefits.

63.Section 9(3) provides that regulations may, in particular, make provision for matters to which the actuary should have regard, and may require trustees or managers to provide the actuarial certificate to a specified person. Regulations may also make provision about the content of the actuarial certificate and require the trustees or managers to obtain the certificate from an actuary who has certain qualifications or meets other specified requirements.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
