The Small Pots Co-ordination Group’s spring 2022 report has recommended three models as potential solutions to the increasing number of small, deferred pension pots in the auto-enrolment space.
The three models which it recommends for further consideration are:
A recent pilot of the Member Exchange model undertaken by three master trusts has however hit a stumbling block in the form of the planned increase in the Normal Minimum Pension Age (NMPA) from 55 to 57 in 2028. As only one of the three participating master trusts has rules protecting a member’s right to continue to take their benefits at age 55, there is a concern that those members would lose their ability to access their benefits at 55 if they were transferred to another of the master trusts.
The Group will keep a watching brief as to whether the Government stance on the NMPA increase changes, but for now, hopes that further steps such as a cost/benefit analysis on each of the models will occur so that a preferred model can be identified – we await the next steps and whether a recommended model will emerge.

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.

The EU’s Artificial Intelligence Regulation, commonly referred to as the AI Act, is expected to come into force during the summer of 2024 (the AI Act). The AI Act will be the first comprehensive legal framework for the use and development of artificial intelligence (AI), and is intended to ensure that AI systems developed and used in the EU are safe, transparent, traceable, non-discriminatory and environmentally friendly.
