Housing association briefing, September 2018

In this issue, we help housing association senior managers and the executive teams understand the implications of the new limits on pension tax relief for both individuals and employers.

First Actuarial case studies

BACB

At London-based British Arab Commercial Bank (BACB), there was an increasing focus on getting a better deal for members of the Defined Contribution (DC) Scheme. First Actuarial helped BACB move the Scheme to a master trust, delivering time and cost savings while improving the member experience.

Standard Group

Independent trustee ZEDRA approached First Actuarial to help take the Standard Group (UK) Pension Scheme through a £26m buy-in and wind-up. First Actuarial supported the Trustee throughout the process, with its end-to-end risk transfer service.

BSRIA

First Actuarial delivered a cost-effective new governance framework to meet the requirements of the general code of practice for the trustees of the BSRIA Pension Scheme.
