A very interesting read for any Shell DB pensioners. The report is clear that when scheme members have had the benefit of discretionary increases then the practice should continue. The #Shell DB scheme I am a member of has a history of doing just that, yet #Shell took the decision to refuse to allow a more than adequately funded scheme to do so, inflicting a real terms cut to living standards of up to 10.8% for scheme members. In official responses, the company seems to have forgotten its previous practice on discretionary increases and has tried to justify its actions without providing any real substance to its argument. Exactly how can independant members of the #Shell board sit back and allow this to happen when they are there to bring over sight?

With an emerging cross-party consensus on the need for greater consolidation in pensions, there is a danger politicians will focus to much on master trusts and neglect other areas of defined contribution which need improvement. My latest feature for Pensions Expert looks at the complexity of improving contracted-out pension schemes as well as master trusts. Legacy schemes are another area which needs review. It's also vital policy makers do not become too caught up in consolidation for the sake of other political imperatives, such as improving investment in UK plc. They must ensure improving members' retirement drives all their decisions. Thanks to Alyshia Harrington-Clark, Rona Train and Lizzy Holliday for their insights and comments. #pensions #definedcontribution #consolidation #mastertrust #gpp https://lnkd.in/eQ83c-X4
