The Pension Protection Fund (PPF) has today (Thursday) opened a short consultation relating to contingent assets in the PPF levy. This will be of particular interest to schemes and employers that are considering putting a contingent asset in place, those who currently have one in place, and those who advise on them.
PPF publishes fourth Responsible Investment report, highlighting its continued commitment towards integrating material ESG risks into its investment approach.
Investments return 5.2 per cent – the same as in 2018/19 – despite market turbulence caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, and assets grew from £32.1bn to £36.1bn.
In 2018, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU or ECJ) ruled that individual members of pension schemes should receive at least 50 per cent of the value of their accrued pension benefits in the event of employer insolvency. In May 2020 the Administrative Court heard a challenge brought against us by a number of members to the way we�re implementing the ECJ�s Hampshire ruling, and to the lawfulness of the PPF compensation cap.�
