In Touch | Green light for CDC
The Government has announced that it is ‘green lighting’ Collective Defined Contribution (CDC) schemes, with new regulations that will allow the expansion of CDC to more employers via multi-employer CDC schemes. A consultation has also been launched on ‘Retirement CDC’, which would allow those who have saved into a traditional Defined Contribution (DC) arrangement to transfer their pension pot into a CDC scheme at retirement. The objective is to see more people receive a regular income for life that aims to keep up with rising prices without having to worry about managing their retirement funds themselves or working out how long their savings need to last.
