The Future Book: unravelling workplace pensions [2015 Edition]

Demographic, policy and market changes mean that in future, retirees will be living longer, entitled to state pension later, more likely to reach retirement with Defined Contribution (DC) savings, and experience flexibility of access to DC savings. Greater numbers of DC savers, coupled with flexibility, will increase the level of risk people with pension savings face at and during retirement.

Given the potential risks involved for those retiring with DC and the rapid expansion of the private sector DC market, it is important that a comprehensive compendium of DC statistics is available to allow observation and reaction to developing trends.


Therefore the Pensions Policy Institute (PPI), commissioned by Columbia Threadneedle Investments, is publishing the first of what is intended to be an annual compendium of DC statistics, “The Future Book”, setting out available data on the DC landscape, projections of the future aggregate value of DC assets, and commentary and analysis of current trends.
