The Pensions Administration Standards Association Data Working Group has updated its guidance on dashboards data accuracy.
PASA notes that despite the dashboards reset, the Regulator strongly recommends schemes keep to the original connection timetable. In order to be ready, it is vital that schemes review their data and take the necessary action to ensure the key matching data is both present and accurate.
Accuracy testing and validation is a step further than typical data reviews, but PASA’s guidance can help schemes navigate the process. The PASA Data Working Group continues to advocate for more to be done in managing pension scheme data and encourage schemes to efficiently include this richer set of data actions in their wider data review and improvement plans.

On February 2, 2024, the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union confirmed that the Committee of Permanent Representatives had signed the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Regulation, referred to as the AI Act. Approval by the EU Parliament followed on 13 March 2024, and the AI Act is likely to appear in the EU’s Official Journal around May 2024. The AI Act aims to establish a stringent legal framework governing the development, marketing, and utilisation of artificial intelligence within the region, thereby marking a significant advancement in the regulation of this burgeoning domain.

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.
