Global rules on foreign direct investment (FDI)
Cross-border acquisitions and investments increasingly trigger foreign direct investment (FDI) screening requirements.

The Pensions Regulator has launched a ‘Deadline’ campaign warning trustees that they must be prepared for their pensions dashboards deadline. This comes after Chris Curry of the Pensions Dashboards Programme confirmed that a basic working prototype of the dashboard has been successfully tested.
To assist trustees with meeting their responsibilities, the Regulator has also published new guidance based on the draft dashboard regulations which the DWP recently consulted on.
Key takeaways from the guidance for trustees include checking their connection deadline, engaging early with relevant advisers and service providers and ensuring member data is up-to-date and accurate. A helpful ‘Preparing to Connect’ checklist is also included.
Further guidance on preparing for dashboards connection is expected from the Regulator later this year. This will reflect the final regulations and the standards currently being developed by the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS).
