Read more ›Regulatory scrutiny of cost transparency is growing for all participants in the Pensions industry, with further obligations due in 2018.
Governance bodies have a duty to savers to closely monitor costs, confirm their investments are operating effectively and ensure that value for money is being achieved.
Asset Managers are increasingly expected to produce accurate, granular cost data quickly and reliably for their clients, while Investment Consultants face calls to improve their transparency within the industry.
Understanding costs fully allows accurate identification of areas for optimising cost management, central to helping maximise returns to members.
Costs and charges remain widely unknown, misunderstood, and/or undisclosed, leading to a sense of them being mysterious and complex but this need not be the case.
Transparency around the full costs of running and managing a scheme can enable better decisionmaking, strengthen governance frameworks and help with achieving long-term sustainability.
