Pensions Regulator publishes blog on increase of investment decision-making skills for trustees for better member outcomes

United Kingdom |  Publication |  December 2022

On December 9, 2022, the Regulator published a blog suggesting that trustees should take advantage of the support and guidance available to increase their investment decision-making skills and take action to enable pension savers to access the investment opportunities that best support good outcomes. In the blog, David Fairs said: “Trustees of DC schemes are now at a fork in the road on their DC journey. However, the direction of travel is clear: trustees need to either upskill or up sticks. [T]he days of small, subscale DC schemes offering some benefits, but not much value to members, are over.” 

The Regulator welcomes the publication of the suite of guides by the PFWG (see item above), which have been prepared to support trustees and advisers when considering the opportunities offered by illiquid investments.

Private Credit: Public Challenges

The private credit market and direct lending have grown and diversified immensely in the past decade, offering alternative sources and terms of debt compared to those historically provided by the syndicated leveraged loan and public issuance markets. Consequently, they are fast becoming pivotal components in the capital ecosystem, so much so that the Bank of England consider that the private credit market is currently responsible for approximately $1.8 trillion of debt issuance, which is four times its size in 2015. This growth has been particularly pronounced in Europe and the US but there has also been significant activity in Asia.
