Pensions Brief provides a monthly update on the latest UK pensions developments and analyses how changes impact on trustees, pension managers and employers. By addressing the "so what?" question, Pensions Brief is aimed to keep the busy pensions professional up-to-date and also serves as an informative reference point for developments going back nearly ten years.

The main way to use Pensions Brief is to view by date or by topic. Alternatively, select a source from the list on the left and then choose a topic, or use our "Search" function. Web-links to the source material are provided where appropriate.

PricewaterhouseCoopers regularly publish bulletins on key market changes and regulatory updates, clearly outlining the key information for employers and trustees and the actions that they need to take. To view our most recent Pension files, please go to PwCPlus.


Whilst every effort is made to ensure that Pensions Brief is correct at the time of posting, circumstances change and policies develop. Pensions Brief should not be taken as a substitute for the need for proper professional advice on any of the issues to which it alerts readers.
