These groundbreaking proposals aim to enable trustees to safely unlock billions of pounds held as surpluses in DB pension schemes, which currently see around 80% of schemes in surplus. Launched on June 10, the reforms are part of a broader pension agenda championed by the Labour Party government to stimulate investment and enhance pensions for savers.
